Stage Two in the Rear View Mirror!
Stage 2: 30km lots of walking today. Many jebels that we went up/down/up/down/ect. Pace was much slower for everyone.
Hydration went well but I am trying to get my food timing down, still
behind the curve. I have enough but just not eating soon enough.
Unfortunately picked up three toe blisters today, sooner than I had
hoped. The downhills did me in on them. Will tape everything tonight.
Went slower today so I will most likely drop in the standings, not that
I'm racing or anything. Lots of people suffered today with the steep
hills.
We were scrambling and climbing for miles. No shade
anywhere. Many gaiter failures due to the rocks (now I know why they
call it More-rock-o). Mine are holding up great, thanks mom! The rest of
my gear is working out well. Pack is getting lighter by the day. I
appreciate all the emails I received last night. Thanks to everyone for
taking time out to follow this. I am doing well and will get another
night sleep tonight if not too windy!
Miss you all!
Go Garth! keep on trucking! :-)
