jakob > While walking to the starting line Boonboro officially welcomed us too.
jakob > At 5 AM the race started. Here we're on the Appalachian Trail 1 hour and 37 minutes into the run. This part I walk a lot because I'm not sure what to expect.

jakob > Still walking a lot enjoying the beginning of the day.
