We were going to go up to Mill D... except for that fresh blanket of snow and blizzard. ...Yeah. I suggested Blanche again and the guys complied. It was a slow hike up, their legs were dead, and I was enjoying the hiking training, something I feel like I've neglected training for my first 100. Then I bolted down.
Oh, and I went out only with a cup of (stevia sweetened) black coffee and a banana, wanted to see what my blood sugar would do (curious if it'd crash). It did, I had a bit of a low blood sugar attack, got all shakey and dizzy, ate a couple dates, wished I had some protein and instant sugar to stabilize myself, but kind of worked through it without the easy resources.
Sort of dumb to do that on purpose, but I figured it was an easy super slow day... In the last month I've had a hypoglycemia attack 3 times, the most severe of which was during the Zion traverse... and I thought maybe I should try go through this on the trail a few times on shorter runs just to figure out how to get through it in case something happens again when I'm out and don't have proper supplies.
