Baby Inman Mile attempt

As no one has successfully completed an Inman mile, I have no delusions of being the first. I did think I could scale the weight back to 50% of my bodyweight and put a time on the board. Boy was I wrong. After 100 yards, it sucked having 105 pounds on my back, no position on my shoulder felt comfortable. After 200 yards, I wanted to be done, but carried on wanting to get at least a quarter mile. I finished a quarter mile in 6:11 and have some thoughts for my next attempt. I want to use straps to hold the bar on my back.
