hi,
I was having a really good day made it to about the 18 mile mark and thought I wonder if I could make it all the way to that NC Border, thought it was a few miles from my current postion. About an hour later made it to the turn around and started back, It was becoming alittle warmer and I needed more fluids, so I stopped at a Gas Station/ grocery store and bought 1/2 gallon of Gator Aide Chugged it down and off I went,
About 1 hour later I noticed I was starting to feel a little more fatigue than normal and my legs were becoming harder to mash on. I did make it back to my start point but didn't wish to fight the traffic all the way back to my home so I called the (wife) she gave a smile when she picked me up cause I didn't want to drive...I was alittle red faced and very tired...
It took a couple of days to recover from my first 60+ attempt.
Any sudden increase in mileage will get your attention..
Doug
