There are sections that are but it's not fast, it's not smooth, it's rocky, and it varies a lot. Those first 30 miles are in Flint Hills gravel, which is not very smooth. I remember one minute right before the start where you're on a paved road, and you just think, 'Oh, this feels so good'. But it's something like 99 per cent gravel. And that was sort of my mantra in 2018: Keep going, anything can happen." 3. Keep thinking 'I'm doing okay, keep moving forward, anything can happen'. If you can keep that mindset and not allow yourself to think, 'Oh, no, the winner is 30 minutes ahead of me, I'll never catch her' that will serve you. "You really have to just stay within your own mindset, do your own race, keep moving forward and don't worry about what's happening with the other racers. And that all depends on your level of fitness and training and how quickly you can bounce back. "If you want to finish on the podium or top 10, then you have to evaluate how many matches you can burn, and if you are able to burn them early and recover enough to still keep it together enough to finish the race. So you just go through a lot emotionally when you spend that much time on the bike and just at that kind of level of exertion, it was not like a casual ride out, it was intense the entire time. And then I'd be feeling pretty good and then go kind of back to that low point. I had to keep reminding myself 'you're just at a low point, you're going to come out of it', and I did. You go through such deep moments of really worrying about if you can finish to feeling like you're okay, and that cycle would come and go repeatedly. "I didn't stay in that lead group the entire time. "There was no way I was going to take my hands off the handlebars in those first 30 miles but I did wear a Camelback and I think that was a good call, to have a straw right in front of you that you can get to and remind yourself to drink." 2. He encouraged the public to learn more about Unbound by going online to. Jake Hentzen expects to finish his walk on Thursday, Oct. "It has been so amazing. I didn’t expect that to be a big takeaway." "Three miles per hour is almost too fast to take it all in," he said. His biggest surprise, Jake Hentzen said, has been the beauty of the landscape. Local residents throughout his journey have been kind and welcoming, he said. Jake Hentzen said he's been rained on "a few times" during the walk and has encountered strong winds almost every day. "All good now besides the normal aches and pains." "In the beginning, my feet were swollen and almost bruised on the bottom," he said. Jake Hentzen said he has averaged 13 miles a day and worn out one pair of shoes.
He said he'd walked about 383 miles upon reaching Topeka Friday, and had about 62 left to go. Jake Hentzen said Friday that his commitment to Unbound and its work is reflected by his willingness to leave himself vulnerable to passing highway traffic and subject himself to the daily rigors of his walk.

Jake Hentzen, a 35-year-old Overland Park resident who is an accountant for Unbound, is taking "extraordinary steps" to draw attention to that organization, said Robyn Caulfield, a public relations professional who is helping draw attention to his journey. Jake Hentzen at times during those walks accompanied Bob Hentzen, who died at age 77 in 2013 in Guatemala, which he had made his home. Bob Hentzen was then 73 in 2009 when he began a successful 8,000-mile journey on foot from Guatemala to Chile, again accompanied at times by people from the organization.
