HIKING

CAMELBACK MOUNTAIN
ECHO CANYON TRAIL

NOT TIMED TODAY!

It was skeletons-bleached-"DEATH"-hot on the trail today...

I really had to slow down and chug hard to summit...
Lemme see...
Hmmm, only used about 3/4 litre of H20

But I chugged a gatorade before (which I almost puked up)
and one after...

Seriously, even the HS athletes who usually bury me
on this trail were sucking wind and resting...

BAD DAY

 

[Devlin]

What were you thinking hiking in weather like that Atleast you did the gatorade beofre and after along with water.

I walked a buttload at work today, and my body is
generally tired and sore from all the activity of the past week...

But I am a trainwreck now -

Aww poor thing. I would offer a massage, but it would take me too long to get there. Plus it too damn hot out there

Your abs are looking good from the avatar...

Hows the Butt? -

Thanks.

It a little smaller than it was, but then I felt like I sweated it all off today. Life is soo much fun when one is wearing navy blue coveralls in the sun with a 100 degree heat index.

1.5ish times

1st trip, 26min up

then I decided since I hadn't eaten breakfast at all,
or dinner the night before,
or slept much,
and was somewhat dehydrated because the
air-conditioning is broken again in my apartment,
and have a few toes that look like hamburger from blistering...

...that I wouldn't carry a pack today.

but after summiting so easily
I wanted more
so I went half way down and back up for a little more fun -
ABOUT 3.9 miles total
