M Run - Volkslauf - Oct 2

When I think of this one, I'll remember the heat, the dry, the dust. The endless Esses on the run. Wearing shoes that took on a billiard ball's-worth of sand into the toebox. The new course's indomitable, overlarge walls. Taking help on nearly every obstacle - asking Chacho to push my ass around the double pipes. Not being gassed but just not having what I needed to take the obstacles down. Couple nice cramps in the right calf - one on the ropes, and one at the final hill coming out of Happy Valley.

Getting to run it with Jamie and Josh. Josh pouring the Hash House beer on himself to try to cool off. The family driving by during the run, and walking the trench and final obstacles alongside us. The best-taking Coors ever, after. Konrad's muddy legs and happy face while holding up his blue ribbon after doing the kids' run.

To First Turn: 3.16
To First South Leg: 14.15 - 17.31
2 mi Marker: 2.02 - 19.34
3 mi Marker: 12.13 - 31.47
4 mi Marker/water station: 11.37 - 43.24
5 mi Marker(?): 13.34 - 56.59
Devil Dog Ditch - 12.35 - 1.09.35
Final obstacles : 19.22 - 1.28.57

Right quad got strained/pulled ... didn't feel it for a day, but it's still hurting after 5 days later. Nice little upper respiratory gunk-up too, from sucking all the dust down deep.

6.5 hours, 60 hours. PE: 9. 1.28.57 total.
