Monoonsuc Ridge Trail FKT. What happens when you get drunk off two coors lights and think “hey I think I’ll run an FKT tomorrow”. Sweaty rocks, flooded trails, waist deep overgrown sections making it impossible to see your footing. Got chased by an aggressive dog and then missed a turn and had to back track when a leashed aggressive dog tried to attack me reminding me of one of the many reasons I moved out of MA. Had a bad wipe out running uphill slamming the right side of my body into the ground and knocking the wind out of me a bit. Then got stung by a bee on the final descent as a little tiny nail in the coffee. Fun shit though and it feels awesome to get an FKT on a route that 4 years ago I scoped out and thought “nope I could never run that fast”. Time to take a dawn soap shower and hopefully get rid of whatever poisonous plants I ran through today.
