Yesterday I completed a “Triple Dog Mountain” - 24 miles and 10,000 feet of elevation gain. I did three full loops, plus two extra up/downs of the first 3/4 mile stretch, in order to hit 10,000 feet.
I had set out to do a “Double Dog” as I needed some extra elevation to hit a goal by the end of the year, and didn’t intend to try a triple until next spring, but there were many favorable factors that convinced me yesterday was the day - cool temps, minimal precipitation, no need for sunscreen or bug spray. The only downfall was the lack of light. The first two hours going up were in the dark, and the last 2 1/2 coming down were the same.
I’d like to give a shout out to the makers of Advil and Tylenol (😂) and also to my naturopath who has seemingly resolved the majority of my plantar fasciitis issue. Fingers crossed.
