To Bone and Back

Jodi and I signed up for the “to bone and back relay” with AMX. We had a good time it was sure hot though. The run is 40 miles round trip so we each took a 5 mile leg. Jodi took leg 1 and I took leg 2 (bad idea) leg 2 is the uphill run. I thought it would be much like Summer’s hill, but it was that x10 we the elevation gain according to my GPS was over 1700′ in 5 miles. I was feeling it from the start, but then I also felt that I was getting low on sugar about 1 1/2 Miles into the run. I can usually push myself when I am not low but when I get low my body calls the shots. I had to run and walk most of the way up and when I finally reached the top I passed out for a bit. Jodi had to force feed me some honey. All in all it was a good time though.
