"You look like the kind of person who would do this crazy thing!" says a fellow runner at high noon with temps in the upper-90s or lower-100s. We're about to start the Habanero Hundred in east central Texas --  -- though N.B. that Roadkill is just doing the 10k single-lap option. Thank goodness, given mega-sunburn within 90 minutes! After the first mile reality sets in and pace slows to mostly a walk -- with a faux-sprint to the finish line, of course, when people are watching. Eye-catching Texas flag clothing abounds. The 7iL Ranch course meanders along horse trails through scrubby brushland. Mega-kudos to DD/Keith & DSiL/Rita for cheering (and enabling) this humbling experiment in high heat and humidity!

Preliminary 10k results: 25th place of 85 finishers, 90.1 minutes, first (and last!) over age 65, first (of 2!) from outside Texas.
