Frozen Beaver

Sydney drove, which was awesome, I got some problems done on the new homework batch.

Cabin was deluxe - heated, its own shower, linens, coffee table and regular table, stove. For 8 people, it worked well. Tom had to sleep on the floor, as the 9th.

I knew I was not in the best shape, so I went with Tar Hollow planning numbers: 2 miles of scalex distance per hour. I marked my targets on my map.

I got off to a poor start, having not managed trekking poles, map, compass, etc. So drifted a bit towards the entrance more than I wanted. Then I screwed up the second one slightly, coming too low on the spur.

Then I was good for a while, other than feeling awful for an hour.

I perked up around the time I was in pursuit of Michelle, and we went more or less together to several late in our first half. Good company!

I was behind pace in the first half, but the second included a lot of road, so even though I refused to run, I made it up and got 30 minutes ahead by the 4th and 5th hour, which let me do my best case route, which ignored the juicy SE corner - I was not sure how to make that work without a lot of dead running (out and back), but it had a high density - curious if there was a way to do it.

I made an additional error at 44, overshooting the reentrant by relying on the lake rather than the opposite site spur, and misguessing which of two trail junctions was the one on the map. My fault though, should have been able to get it. 4 minutes? Otherwise pretty clean for the final 23 c.

Bit of a hustle to the finish - the lodge is on elevation, so I picked up the last c with Michelle and Syd, both of whom hauled away. But six minutes to spare, woo woo.

I ate more or less to my plan, up until hour five where I figured I was close enough to let it go.

Finished 2nd in the solos behind Sydney, and just ahead of Waldo. Michelle on a different day would bump me out. So fit!

To race like Kyle, I must eat like Kyle (yes I should also consider training occasionally...baby steps). I'm going to try to hit closer to 300 calories per hour at Cabin Fever.

I have two of those sesame crisp things REI sells, which I may sub in for a gel or something if saltier sounds better.
