Old Goat + Cemetery Man

1st Northern Tunxis Trail End-2-End

My friends the Old Goat and Cemetery Man convinced their Mom's to provide "a rolling aid station" by driving around Barkhamsted and East Hartland so that we could enjoy cool water and snacks along a 21-mile adventure.

We would begin at Pell Road and ramble south, covering the Tunxis Trail to Satans Kingdom.  Hopefully completing the 21-miles or so in one piece (or, four pieces as there were four of us).

The Old Goad and Cemetery Man were joined by CP and I, for a great sunny day.

2:34:55 to the Route 219 Crossing / 1:28:34 to end prior to Route 44

Finished in 4:03:30 or so, with a bit of being "lost".

I drove up to the event with CP, ready to tackle the challenge.  The Gulliver's really did a nice job coordinating the shuttle between points, as well as the aid stations.

Heublein Tower Run II

Long 16.5-Mile Trail Run through Penwood and Talcott Mountain area, second consecutive season.

Finished in 3:10:27, which was almost twenty-minutes slower than last year.

There may have been a few reasons for this:

• Temperature in the high 80's.
• Very Sunny, Very Hot, and Very Humid.
• Stomach Problems due to a lunch that may have been "too big".
• Ended up Lost a bit at the bottom of Heublein.
