AM - 26.25 Red Cliffs Desert Reserve - unsuccessful attempt at a traverse. Just not a very good run today - couldn't find any rhythm or decent feel for running. Very cold up at the start in Silver Reef - bottles froze, hands froze - made for the first two stops to be way too long to try and break the ice a little and get some hydration. Had to start in the dark, too; which isn't very conducive to decent running on a trail even with a decent headlamp. From there on out it was just a bumma run. Thought for sure I would still break my FKT, but saw that slip away as I was resorting to way too much walking. So by T-Bone I just decided to call it instead of struggling for 8 more miles. Good long run though. (Speedgoat 325)
