Well after 5 hour drive to the ferry...14 hour ferry ride...a 1.5 hour delay getting off the ferry because of a problem with the ramp...a 1 hour delay because someone didn't return to their vehicle...about 8 hours of driving across the island crammed into a vehicle...Day 1 is done.
Today was tough as body was a little tight from the drive and we only had 3 hours sleep last night. Also because we had 3 hour drive this morning to get to the start we had a shortened running day so there was a sense of urgency. Will be interesting to see how bodies feel in the AM since we probably pushed ourselves harder today then we should have.
Well enough wining...it can always be worse right? :-) it was an amazing day with beautiful scenery.
We bumped into a man on the trail...when he found out we were running across NL he insisted on giving us $5 towards water or a snack. Thanks Vince...its good to be back in NL. :-)
