Fishers Peak Ascent at Fishers Peak State Park

Homestead Trail Out & Back in Lincoln, Nebraska

This effort started moderately and became difficult as the temperature rose to the mid-80s. I ran out of fluid with about 6 miles to go and got dehydrated. A death shuffle ensued in the final miles. 

In hindsight I needed to bring my Katadyn BeFree filter to resupply water from the couple streams on this route. I only had 2 liters + one can of 7.5 oz coke. Not enough on this day! 

Afterward I crashed at the first store I came across in Manitou Springs and rehydrated for about 30 minutes. Despite the hot outside temp my body temp dropped and I was shivering. I'm fine now. 

The good news is I cherry-picked an FKT (fastest known time) that was registered but no one had yet submitted a result. So any time would have qualified for the FKT! I'll take it on this day. The bar is set low and I'm sure plenty of men and women will take more than 2 hours off this time. Regardless, I am submitting it and will be on the site forever! LOL!

There were probably 30 downed trees across the trails, mostly on the Lake Moraine Trail.
