Jeff, this post mesmerized me. I wasn't aware of your military background. Bravo to you!! And, I can relate to the concept of throughline and reconnecting with who we were 20 years ago. Thanks for writing, keep it up.
And those recorded stats! I think numbers are your other through line.
I am assuming the temperatures in the desert were high and dry, correct me if I’m wrong. When I lived in Florida (1993-1999) I ran and competed in some very hot and humid conditions but not sure how it compares to 123F in the desert.
The one very hot triathlon I did was on a day in the high 90’s and over 90% humidity if memory serves me correctly.
I usually reserved my running for early or late evening to avoid intense sun and heat. Although mornings were very humid.
I probably had more of a choice than you did as far as rum timing. On the other hand, I know you like to challenge yourself when it comes to being uncomfortable. Not a bad strategy.

Great write up, Jeff.
I enjoyed your marathon press release/challenge.

I’ll look for part 2 continuation.
