I started on the east side of Quailbrüke and headed clockwise around the lake. I wore a Salomon vest with 1 liter of water, some gummy bears and a bunch of cereal bars because my stomach can't really handle gels. The route is along the lake and through cities so I knew there would be plenty of public fountains to refill my bottles which I think I did only four times once like 90 minutes in at a random fountain in a park, once in Raperswill, once in Lachen and once in Au. I had way too much food as I was only able to eat a few gummy candies and 2 and a half bars. 

I started maybe a little too fast but it is difficult for me to run as slow as an ultra runner. It was pretty easy the whole time and I actually think I could go quite a bit faster if i trained more for several hour long runs. The last two hours or so i wanted to be done so i guess it was somewhat difficult then but today I already feel basically 100% recovered. 

No one ran with me for any portion I just had a couple friends meet me at the very end for some beers.
