AM: 18.5 miles on the trails. 2000+ feet of gain.

Went with the Wanderers. We dropped some guys off after 10 miles. Went with Preston as long as I could manage. He had a pretty good supply of fuel and water. I went depletion-style (no breakfast, no gels, no water) and even though it was only 18 miles I spent 2:50 running and 2:58 on my feet. I turned around at ~15 miles because I was worried finishing the 3rd corner would leave me not able to get back (the run is called a 4 corners run because it uses all 4 corners of the park and is about 24 miles).

I think this convinced me a technical 50k is not on my bucket list anytime soon.

I saw a black squirrel close up.

Fair to partly crappy. Felt a little bit better affter 7 or 8 miles. Played "if the light turns green I'll do the long version of this route." It did, so I went on.
