7-mile Progression 🔥 Putting on a show

Reef Snorkel 🛥️🐠🐟🐡🤿 Puerto Morelos

Feeling beachy 🏝️😎☀️

I probably burned about ~10% of what I ate/drank today… 🫠

🇲🇽 Heat Training 🔥 w/ 12 x (1’ hard, 1’ moderate)

Ran the trail from west to east completely alone and unsupported, carrying a Camelback hydration backpack, a flip-belt with 12 SIS gels (only took 10), and Nuun electrolyte tablets. I only stopped at 2 public water fountains, no stores or handouts.
One of the biggest problems was that most of the water fountains were closed because of the pandemic, but managed to survive refilling at Smith Switch and right before Cedar Ln. So bummed that both water fountains at Vienna and restrooms were closed.
Lost some time getting off track by a couple of detours around the trail closure because of construction. Also, I needed to stop at some intersections and traffic lights that took some time.
Passed the marathon in 3:15 and the 50K in 3:55, it got rough afterward.
Shoutout to Christie and the Stillings who came with me to Purcellville and wish me good luck!
Also, a great and pleasant surprise to see Miguel and Ileana at Purcellville!! Miguel also ran the entire W&OD trail, congrats!!
And even better, they all were at the end to see Miguel and I finish and celebrate!!
It was an awesome but brutal experience.
Total elapsed time for the unsupported FKT: 6:06:00
I might try the opposite direction sometime in the future.
