I warmed/fuelled up and got started at 7:05 AM. This is a really fun route! You really have to concentrate on staying on course and I found myself slightly off course almost right away. I course corrected and tried not to do that again haha. It really helps that I ran the figure 8 a week ago and it was pretty fresh in my head. I knew what trail to take on the main intersections. I made it to the extension trail and went around the swamp. I knew when I crossed the road I didn’t have too much left. Staying safe is always the key. I made it back to where I started in the parking lot and stopped my watch.
I was happy with my effort and it was a really fun morning. I carried no fuel or water during the attempt. I hope others can discover this fun area. I’ll have to go back and look up at the sky at night!
