To Infinity and Beyond

What a day. I guess I was looking for some adversity and I found it early on. In the first 15 minutes I wiped out on a slippery rock, got lost in the dark, and got soaking wet from the evening thunderstorm moisture on the bushes that have grown over the trail. Stayed wet for pretty much the first 12 hours - I’m chaffed in some places that I didn’t know I had. Despite clearing the deadfall on the south half two weeks ago there are a couple dozen fresh deadfall already that make it tough going. The bush has grown over the trail to an extent that your limbs get tangled when you try to walk through it. I probably spent a cumulative 90 minutes picking hundreds of ticks off my legs throughout the day.
Things got better on the southbound leg once the sun dried things up a bit. Just when I thought that I’d be walking out the last 19 km from Marion I had a surprise rally that gave me the fastest km’s of the day and put me just a whisker under my heavily supported double from last year. Gotta be happy with that.
