Walk with Mom

Not fasted.  This is my second time running in this event. I learned about it last year after doing the Feral Hog 50k in the rucksack division. There is no rucksack division for this race, but last year and this year I used it to ease into my Bataan Memorial Death March training.

My right foot didn't complain. My cardio system was my limiting factor. I was wearing my ice hat and had two handhelds with ice water in them. I drank a bit while I was running and also poured some ice water on myself, but I redlined at a fairly slow pace.

So, I'm happy I was able to push myself hard when judged by heart rate, but I was about thirty seconds per mile slower than last year even though my ruck was about a half pound lighter. Between my foot and my rib I simply didn't ruck much after the Bataan Memorial Death March, so I lost fitness, although I also think it might have been a little hotter today.

Oh, and I did't tighten my water bottle cap, so of course it flew off about half way into the race.

Whee!
