Long Run: Tipton Stones Ultra - tried to run every cul-de-sac and road in Tipton Lakes and snap a quick picture of the stone headings the neighborhood puts at the head of the sub-sections (there is a bunch :) Looks like I picked up 17 of them on the Strava post, but missed a couple of roads.
Wore the hydration pack with full water bottles and a couple of Clif Bars. The hard shell water bottles (Jurek hydration pack) are pretty harsh on the rib cage when full. The gatorade electrolyte mix and clif bars were pretty much the perfect fuel, but, the pace was pretty slow today, intentionally. Plan was to run easy pace for a while, go at least 4 hours and throw faster stuff in at the end. Pretty cool to get exactly 27 and 4 hours :)
The weather could not have been much better - a little chilly at first. Did have to get the gear in place for a couple of miles (like shed 2 layers), settle down after the headphones crapped out, and make a number 2 stop off in the woods, but overall, pretty seemless. All the turning and stop and go on pavement has the legs pretty sore.
