A simple matter of weight and friction placed behind human horsepower. Similar to the anchor chain, dragging a mooring line proves physically painful. What the line gives up in mass, it makes up in contact resistance. Each fiber of the double braided nylon equipped with a death grip, reaching for tarmac and impeding progress. All intervals were executed with a H-gear harness pulling forward, load in tow. Constant drive through calf muscles coupled with rapid turnover leaves lactic acid lingering without an escape route. Three minutes would seem ample time to circulate relief, but there is a compounding effect at work here. Even as distance diminishes and rest remains constant, each effort provokes increasing torment. Not flashy or glamorous, yet agonizingly effective.
