Left the house around 4:30a.m. Got down here and checked out the water fountain by the turn around to make sure it worked and I knew where it was. Also checked out the confusing section by Scenic Rd. Which didn’t help bc I got turned around a little bit on the way back anyway. Got started a little late. Lots of downed trees near the beginning. Things were moving well the first half. Glad I wore the Hoka Tectons bc it was tacky and muddy in some areas. Also lots of spider webs and of course cicadas. Almost stepped on a turtle that looked like a rock. Maintained 7.25 miles/hour. Got to the turn around in 1:56. Refilled my 20 oz. handheld and got out in 1:57. That middle section is so tough. Was at 21.5 ish miles at 3:00 hrs. The way back was rough. Took a Maurten gel and salt tab every 45 min. Had Maurten 160 drink mix in the handheld. Ran out of water with 3 miles to go. Felt pretty depleted and crampy the last few miles. Did some power hiking. Thought for a little bit that it was slipping away from me and almost gave up and power hiked it in. Felt pretty undertrained for this honestly. Longest run going in was 14.5. I think a sub 4 is doable with more specific training and maybe an effort in cooler temps. Either way proud of the effort for my first FKT and a new unsupported FKT (Fastest Known Time). Also grateful to come away healthy and unscathed. Got it by roughly 10 minutes. Thanks to all those before me who set the standard high. All fantastic efforts in their own right. Sat in the creek afterwards. Had 5 ticks on me at the end.
