Absolutely brutal run on the LPT. Pace was brutally slow and it was brutally hot. I kept the pace slow intentionally at the beginning and it was unintentionally slow at the end. I probably did not take enough fluid with me which did not help. Found a park with a drinking fountain at the 11 mile mark on the LPT which helped alot. Saw a water bottle on the side of the trail and I was very tempted to drink from it but new that somebody had probably ditched it for themselves during the run. |
