jakob > Saturday morning at 3 AM I was on my way driving down south. Destination: Boulder Oak Camping which is an about 140 miles drive. I only slept 2 hours last night and feel like crap. Unfortunately none of my family was able to join me this time.
jakob > Driving on the I-5 South along the beach. I can't see the beach because it's dark but my GPS shows it (blue is water).
jakob > It's pretty cold this morning with 37 degree Fahrenheit. I didn't know that then but the day would heat up pretty good later on.
jakob > After a 2 hour drive I arrive at the starting line. I fix my feet and get ready for the 6 AM start.
jakob > While the day was waking up all runners are slowly arriving at the starting line. It's 22 minutes until the fun starts. I still feel very tired and hope that it will pass once I'm out running.
jakob > 3 minutes to 6 AM. I just made it back from a bathroom break.
jakob > 2 minutes to 6 AM. My smile is forced because I yet have to wake up.
jakob > At 6 AM sharp we were all off on the PCT (Pacific Crest Trail). I can't help myself thinking how cool it will be running 25 miles on the trail where David Horton broke the PCT record in 2005; a 2,666 miles journey he completed in an amazing 66 days, 7 hours and 16 minutes.
jakob > The first 13 miles are basically all uphill climbing from 3,100' to about 4'800'.
