FKT: Nicole Monette - Waterloo-Pinckney Trail (MI) - 2021-05-30

I started the Waterloo-Pickney trail from the Portage Lake trailhead at the Waterloo Recreation Area at just before 7am on Sunday, May 30th. I carried 26 oz of water and 28oz of Roctane drink mix along with all my fuel on me. The day went smoothly until around mile 16-18 where I got lost and found myself running in circles around the Cedar Lake outdoor center, which added quite a few miles to my run. I was able to find the trail again and finished the correct route with a few more minor wrong turns that caused me to turn around to get back on track. That’s why I ended up running 41.33 miles!! I was thankful to be able to grab the FKT despite my poor navigation skills!
