This one would probably have been below 6hrs if not done during a freakin' heat advisory! I had to stop and filter way too many times, and from mile 20-finish, as the heat started cooking me, I was weighed down with more water then anyone should carry, in the most difficult section (but it was just enough because all the streams were dry to the end, check to good planning!). I conserved water and backed off a bit to avoid dehydration and heat stroke. I started early morning, hoping to miss most of the heat, but as the day went on I felt like a lobster in a boiling pot. 

Also, one of my soft flasks started leaking, but I had some very old duct tape in my pack, with a little stickiness left, and was able to fix it up so there was only a trickle of tailwind running down my right side, instead of the earlier waterfall that I mistook for excessive sweat (on only one side of me...).

I've run the Nipmuck marathon a handful of times and it was really cool to see the trail in it's entirety. Overall, I enjoy it. Mostly runnable, fairly technical with all the roots, lots of rolling hills and short steep stuff, but no sustained climbs. Gets harder as it goes north. Might try it again in milder conditions.
