Stage 1 of Grand to Grand

There was a lot of thunder and lightning last night at the bivouac. It drizzled for a couple of hours and the tents required work at about 3:00 am.  It was a long night and I only got about four hours of sleep. 


The start was fast and weather heavy over cast.  Dodged showers all day.  First 20 miles were just over 10:00/mile.  Last eight was off road through cactus, rocks, uphill, etc.  Lots of walking then I got behind on food and a little behind on water. Finished in under 6:30 and in 12th place I think.  No blisters.  All is good.  Will sleep ok tonight! 


Tomorrow is 25 miles with some hills and sand I'm sure I will go slower.
