Apalachee River to Causeway 2005 XL
Tuesday, June 14, 2005 brint.adams@us.army.mil
Tonight was very hot and humid, starting out at 94 degrees with a slight southwest breeze and right at high tide at 5:20 PM. I started out eastward heading past the restaurants and already saw five gators out cruising around Pass Picada. Blue Gill's was getting ready to rock with the free WZUE outdoor concert on their deck. I made the turn at Apalachee River in 7:38 and back past the parking lot in 15:09. Fortunately, the sun went behind a large dark cloud for a while anyway, which helped cut down on the intense heat. I made it to the Interstate bridges in 32:13, after passing several more gators lazily floating around out in the open bay.
After hiding out in the shade under the bridges for a couple of minutes, I tried to hit it hard on the return and made it back in a total of 49:03. With the high heat and not having Roland's energy around to feed off of, I was very happy with the time and under 10:00 minute per mile pace.
