Hockley loop + with STORM.
Browner headed out to join Bash on her first of 2 loops.
Storm and I did all the side trails of Hockley Prov. Park and then had an aid station at 5th line. I drank a small coke and grabbed an icy soft flask of water, but my 1.5l bladder was dry shortly after. I still had a half full soft flask, but 3 different pinnacle climbs took care of that, so I had to dial it back and ration my sips of water from the remaining flask as the day got hotter.
We soaked down in a couple of creeks and I pole-hiked the uphills, but still ran dry. I guess it means I’m taking in plenty early on and clearly I need if.
Very enjoyable outing at ultra pace. Too bad it was too hot for dogs.
Bash looked good heading out for her second loop, but I was happy to be done,
