12 miles on MCT + 5 mile loop.  76 degrees.  Continplated whether I should/could do this run with the current condition of my PF.  I decided to do it but I had to go slow and told Tim to be on alert if I needed to bail.

It was SO hot.  I got dizzy about 5 miles in and double downed on my liquid electrolytes and my salt pills....then felt better.  Lots of GU.  PF held up ok.  Lets see what it feels like in the morning.
