I went 47.5 miles on Friday and was just too hot to beat the remaining 2.5 miles out. Today I was able to go 52 miles and actually felt fine afterwards. I only consumed one water bottle that was 1:1 water to gatorade. I brought 2 power bars but never felt that I needed one.
My pace was only 14.2 mph. It took me 3 hours 15 minutes to finish. I was on the Ohio Towpath and there was a lot of traffic on it today.
I'm just happy that I did it. Now to work on doing it faster !
