Midland City forest with pack. Love riding in the evening because the temps get more comfortable as the ride goes on. Trails were in good condition - much of the sand held down by recent rain. At the 2 hour mark, hamstrings started to hurt, so I called it. Now is the time to listen to the body. New plan after much discussion with lots of people - cut volume, increase rest, cut crossfit. Most of all is listening to my body though. Oh, and more sleep and more stretching.
I almost ran over a snake. It was acting weird and just slithering in place on the trail. It was a pretty small snake, but it had a large mid-section. I think it was digesting a mouse or something.
