After a lunch break (I didn't eat) and rest, #8 was reasonably easy, but #9 was beyond my physical ability once I'd carried my first load across


I'll bet that low blood sugar might have played a hand in your crashing? I sweat like you do and have found that a combination of heat/humidity effects my appetite. I bet if you would of eaten a few handfuls of Gorp you might not of crashed the way you did.

Lets just say that skipping lunch was not by choice.  At that point I was pretty much certain that anything going down was coming back up.

So, I drank water and rested.
