I just starterd irrigating again today. It was nice having it shut down last week. I have 2 wheel lines and one hand line that are each 1/4 mile long. The hand lines are in 40 foot lenths that each have to be disconnected then carried 60 feet and reconnected. The wheel lines have motors in the middle that roll the whole thing over 60 feet to the next setting. Much easier. I move them morning and night every day. I put my garmin on the other day and figured I end up walking about 4 miles every day doing this. It's not always the most fun when you've just finished running.
Tonight I was in a hurry to get finished before dark and so I ran when I had to cover the 1/4 mile back and forth across the field to the other end of the line twice for one mile. Probably not a very fast pace but wearing irrigation boots and running through knee deep alfalfa it should probably count for double. |
