I have done several hhh's, this was my fourth century, numerous 100k. This was the hottest I have experienced, although the high may not have been a record it got hot so early. I was fortunate not to be misdirected off the course, but I did see a lot of dead and dying soldiers by the road particularly the last 10 miles. I am now a believer in the pickle theory, i ate at least part of a pickle at several rest stops and although i got hot and tired i never cramped. The weather man just missed by one day- today it rained in wichita falls.
