Spur-of-the-moment solo unsupported effort. Heard some sharks in the area were eyeing this, so I snuck this in to get my name on the leaderboard. Overall pretty pleased with the effort. Details below.
-Conditions were pretty perfect: avg temp probably low- to mid-40s; partly sunny to cloudy; light to no wind; most importantly no rain.
-Carried all my food and fluid from the start: 8 gels (4 Liquid Gu and 4 BNP Go Gels); 1 tube of Tailwind split between two handhelds. Ditched one of the handhelds at the turnaround.
-I honestly felt pretty miserable for most of this, despite the fact the pace was very controlled and never dropped off too much.
-Two pitstops (including one at the turnaround) turned my moving time of 3:53:51 into a total time of 3:56:42.
