The hardest and longest day of the walk. 17+ miles with the route comprised of mile after mile of long uphills....short downhills and long uphills etc.etc.
The weather was outstanding though! My pace was forced to slow to about 2 miles + per hour.
We stopped every 3 miles to rest and refuel for about 10 minutes.
Since we left at Noon, we started losing daylight with about 2 hours left in the walk.
Mark and Raj(carrying less weight) were able to finished about a half mile ahead of me.
I finished the first day in darkness wearing a headlamp around 8:30 pm.
What A Relief!
No major physical problems....other than sore back,legs and shoulders.
Tomorrow is suppose to be warmer and shorter And Less Hills!
We are also starting at 8 AM....so no more walkin in darkness!
Pictures coming!
Tomorrow....Sherman to Colt Station!
