Hugh's race across the Shawanagunk Mountain range was amazing! I had so much fun going from checkpoint to checkpoint, meeting new people, and cheering. I had to actually rely on some navigation skills when my GPS would not work (no service) and luckily I was prepared with maps thanks to hughmac4.
I had some really nice mini-hikes but nothing long enough to justify turning on my GPS for. Overall I probably walked for a couple hours between the checkpoints checking out the race trail. The terrain was fantastic and beautiful and the air was abundantly clean.
I am so in awe of my brother's effort. I didn't run the race but I feel pretty exhausted myself! Can't imagine what Hugh's legs must be saying to him right now.
