Great question, why ARE you so tired? It's also called "the mile run" but it's not even a mile. I did it a couple times years ago (2013 and 2015 maybe) on OC and it was a bit of an ordeal setting up and doing it properly (thirds in from P1, drop cookie, exit, then starting from Orange Grove make sure you get to cookie before thirds, ... , maybe a cleanup dive after), but I don't remember being exceptionally tired. I had wanted to go back and do this again for years, but every trip I would end up either unable to find a buddy for this or it was flooded out. Usually ended up doing a solo in Cow instead, since I was already up there. Then in 2022 I got to do the mile run again on my shiny new ChOptima, with appropriate bailout consisting of the amount of gas it took to do it on OC (so no setup dive) and was like "Wait, was that IT?" It seemed shorter than I remembered from 7 to 9 years earlier, again not really tiring.Here is our latest trip to Peacock
Good on you for doing it the right way. Most people basically do it as a trust me dive most of the time it seems nowadays. I was taught in my training to do it as you describe. It makes sense, and it's the safe way.it was a bit of an ordeal setting up and doing it properly (thirds in from P1, drop cookie, exit, then starting from Orange Grove make sure you get to cookie before thirds, ... , maybe a cleanup dive after), but I don't remember being exceptionally tired.
