lol...whatever works!  I'd guess dehydration too at first guess though

it was good...the north end of the park is pretty nice, though we didn't see the half of it.  we did about 18ish....I forgot my GPS at home and Mitch forgot to turn his on for about 20 mins so we aren't sure on the exact amount we went.  
 
I managed to get a big ash on my achillies area when my foot went through some ice on the trail and got cut by the ice shard around mile 9-10....its pretty gnarley looking....made a really clean cut surprisingly.
 
we got a good laugh when Mitch's map fell out of his pocket and we watched it get carried away down stream on a creek crossing ...the map securely wrapped in plastic so it wouldn't get wet....note to self add a tether next time.
 
we saw Dierker and friend on the trail and saw Adam Z. at the start and joined him for a good 8 miles-ish back to his truck on the north end of the park.
 
 
weather was freak'n beautiful...I ran in shorts outside (in IL) for the first time since Nov.   I felt so light!
 
and my Nathans backpack is awesome but needs a high-flow valve on it ...plan to get an aftermarket valve...it rides really nicely...I recommend!

Well, Greg about covered it.  Steadily rolling hills were nice for my complaining knee as opposed to killer ups and downs at McN.  We were also working on some Clinton racing strategies such as:  rearward snot rocket propelling (to deter would be passers), elbow throwing, heel kicking, etc.  

I bow to your snot-rocket abilities.

reading this forced me to expell an unplanned snot rocket onto my computer

I think I just threw up in my mouth a little...  

A long time ago I used to get headaches after my 20 mile runs.
 
Later I began to understand it was because I had skipped my coffee.
