We saw a few bikes and walkers in the early morning but the trail was mostly empty.Andrew, my driving aid station, met us at road crossings throughout the day, usually every 7-8 miles. Most of the morning was quiet with few people on the trails. The path was a mix of dirt and grass and some rocks throughout, just about the perfect path for running.I worried a bit about mosquitoes and horseflies, but didn’t get bothered by either. The first miles took us through shaded trails with limestone rock walls at times and cornfields, cows and soybeans at others.

We traversed country hills in direct sun. Around this time, we took the detour around Stewart Tunnel which was MUCH hillier than I expected. The high was expected to be near 80☏. Shortly after Marty joined, the day began to heat up. We ran a bit more with Jason and then said goodbye to him.
The last 10 miles was a mix of running and walking in direct sun. There were many triathletes buzzing along on their bikes on this section along with runners. The final 10 miles of the trail is paved and much busier. Andrew was able to meet us at the trailhead in Belleville and I tried to cool myself with ice packs.We approached less covered areas as we traveled North on the trail and my run had turned into run/walk. When we got to Belleville, I realized I was starting to overheat.
