Course Clearing the first day of the Wildcat w/Aaron
The weather was warm. Terrain was a bit messy but not too bad.
Having Aaron made it easier to carry all the controls and we planned 2 control drops. Dropped our packs for the long out and back to 102.
Mostly a clean run. We spent a couple of extra minutes searching for 52, 33 and 51. I also stopped paying attention on the way to 43 and miscounted the reentrants only lost 5 mins.
Felt good about how I did. This was my first run more than 10 miles in 5 months. Felt mostly good throughout. Got some calf cramps just past halfway. Felt really strong on hour 7 (running up hills) but then got tired again for hour 8.
