I hadn't done an FKT in a while since my ankle is still not 100% but was dying to get out and push a little on the tricky stuff. This route was a good test. I had to focus immensely to keep my ankle from rolling but was successful! A person with strong body parts and no fear can run this route much faster.
The day was cloudy and threatened rain but it never really transpired. There was a bit of unavoidable mud, lots of blow downs to navigate and some blazing that is fading. Other than that, watch out for all the baby heads (fist sized loose rock). They are out to get you!
I carried my UltrAspire Spry hydration pack with one liter of water and ingested an Untapped maple sleeve. That was the perfect amount to get me through feeling good.
I ran alone as I needed time for myself. I only saw one pair out hiking.
