Monday 16 Dec: First day out after the Sawmill 50k+ on Saturday. The GPS watch died after a few minutes out today. It was kind of a surprise because the Garmin 310xt is supposed to last like 16-20 hours and I had it fully charged before running 7 hours the otherday and it couldn't handle today. Perhaps I left it on when I uploaded it to the computer the other night... Otherwise, that is kind of depressing for very long ultras. I ended up doing the standard lunchbreak 8 miles at schriever with walking warmup and cooldown. Perhaps I was a bit slow? Who knows today the last half mile before the cooldown, I felt a little tired. I tried to push at normal MAF effort throughout. All the sugar yesterday and I had to make an emergency pit stop a couple of miles in before I shipped my pants. This is getting a little long for the daily journal but I decided to start Apple Cider Vinegar into my diet a few times a day based off the recommendation from a close friend.
