Started this effort shortly after 6 a.m taking the Sunapee access road up to the summit to start. Tried to keep my pace steady and slightly reserved for the first half since it's consistently up and down. After summiting Pitcher mountain I pushed harder and took advantage of all of the road sections to make up time. I stopped 5 times to fill up my filter flasks from streams which were luckily in abundance. I carried a total of 7 gels, some pickles (the juice ended up spilling on me within the first 4 miles so that was sad), a honeystinger waffle, 2 bags of chews, salt tablets, cheerios, a poptart, and a bag of potato chips. I also had an extra flask with extra scoops of tailwind that I sipped from the back half. I managed to eat every 30 minutes so my nutrition was dialed-in, and no GI issues. Only a handful of muddy sections but otherwise the trail conditions and the weather was perfect. That climb up to Monadnock really broke my soul and I was having a hard time breathing by that point. Managed to get sub 11 hours which was my goal so I am very happy with my performance!
