Night fun! Tested my night gear and poles in the woods. Need a good waist light, the lack of shadows from a headlamp angle sux. Then some grass field laps.
Accidentally stopped my watch at some point, and didn’t notice for ~0.5mi. Glad all this is wheeled!

Note
It's a surprisingly wild place for 70mi from NYC. Nature sightings!
We also ran into the co-race director, and the only woman to ever finish the race! They were out doing trail maintenance. Had a nice chat. They were the only people I saw in 4.5 hours of running. Wild!
- Bear poop (hughmac3 was skeptical, then:)
- Black bear
- Small rattler
- Heard a pileated woodpecker

SRT Training with hughmac3! Thanks so much for the support!
Some challenge in the first section, but nav wasn't too bad. Rocky & some climb. Took it pretty easy, and did fine.

More SRT Training with hughmac3! Thanks so much for the support!
Big challenge in the second section: nav a bit tougher, really rocky & ridiculous climb: 5.7% overall, most in the first half. Took it pretty easy, and still suffered a good bit.
Need to be very careful during this section during the race. Potential for ruining myself physically, and mentally. Easy does it!

Very, very little motivation the past few days, and today, too. I don't know why. Humidity has been a factor, and a bit of calf / achilles ... hmm. Well, got a few in, not the 20mi planned, but something.
Fixed up the tongue on these shoes! DIY FTW. Slit the tongue so I could pass the laces through, in hopes that they would keep the tongue from collapsing forward on downhill sections. Seems to have worked like a charm. Will pass this to New Balance (FWIW), in hopes that the include this in v2. Hooray, ‘cause these shoes are otherwise pretty sweet.
