That turned out to be mission impossible for me. I don&#8217;t think I ever reached my daily mileage target during the following 10 days. That was very frustrating and demoralizing. Contributing factors for being slower were the heat and the bugs. There was little to no protection available from both, which added to the overall stress. Running with a bug net and with a jacket in the heat is neither fun nor efficient.<\/p>\n<p>The scenery was absolutely spectacular in every possible way. As opposed to the <a href=\"https:\/\/christofteuscher.com\/aagaa\/odt-restlessly-relentless-movie-series\/\">ODT<\/a>, there was obviously a lot more traffic on the PCT. Everybody asked for my trail name. Since I&#8217;m not part of the thru-hiker community, I have none.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the heat and the bugs, I was able to make decent progress. But I only realized that at the very end.<\/p>\n<p>Somewhere between Goat Rocks and Mt. Adams I met <a href=\"https:\/\/fastestknowntime.com\/route\/pacific-crest-trail-through-wa-wa\">Dave and Will, who were on a mission to grab the very same FKT as I<\/a>, but had started 5 days later and were northbound. We exchanged some trail intelligence about the upcoming sections and cruised on. And in the Indian Heaven Wilderness I finally met <a href=\"http:\/\/ultrapedestrian.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">team Ultrapedestrian<\/a>, aka Ras and Kathy, who are currently attempting to complete the epic <a href=\"http:\/\/ultrapedestrian.com\/up-north-loop\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">UP North Loop<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, my wheels came off during the last night and day. I decided to move through the night to make up for some time. But alas, in a matter of hours, my feet more or less disintegrated in front of my eyes. Perhaps it was because the skin was unable to dry out during my few regular hours of sleep. Perhaps it was just the cumulative wear and tear. Perhaps it was the fact that I ran out of fresh socks and that the only socks I had left contained a deadly mix of sand and dirt particles that felt like sandpaper. Over the last 40 miles I was so much slower than anticipated that I ran out of food for several hours. The foot pain because of the blisters was excruciating. Several times I feared I would collapse in the heat because I had not eaten for hours. I had trouble walking straight.<\/p>\n<p>But on\u00a0Tue, Jul 31, 2018, at 2:56pm, after incredibly long and painful hours, I finally reached the middle of the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Bridge_of_the_Gods_(modern_structure)\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Bridge of the Gods<\/a>. It took me\u00a010 days, 1 hour, and 26 minutes to complete the entire Washington PCT section. By the time I finished, three sections of the WA PCT were closed because of fires. So, clearly, I got very lucky.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_4405\" style=\"width: 1810px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/christofteuscher.com\/aagaa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/wa_pct_overview.png?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4405\" class=\"wp-image-4405 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/christofteuscher.com\/aagaa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/wa_pct_overview.png?resize=640%2C586&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"586\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/christofteuscher.com\/aagaa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/wa_pct_overview.png?w=1800&amp;ssl=1 1800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/christofteuscher.com\/aagaa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/wa_pct_overview.png?resize=300%2C275&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/christofteuscher.com\/aagaa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/wa_pct_overview.png?resize=768%2C703&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/christofteuscher.com\/aagaa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/wa_pct_overview.png?resize=1024%2C938&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/christofteuscher.com\/aagaa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/wa_pct_overview.png?w=1280&amp;ssl=1 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-4405\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">An overview map of the Washington PCT section.

That means it short-logs significantly in general. Especially if there are endless switchbacks, as for example in the Northern Cascades.<\/li>\n<li>The Ambit3 also only allows to record 200h in one go. So I had to re-start after that.
