More Training... (Sarah's a badass)
Went out last night, went to bed at 3am. Sarah got me up at 7:30, after she had gotten back from the gym from 6am. I was VERY surprised to hear that Sarah wanted to come with me on my grueling training run (sans 60lb pack). I didn't think she'd make it to Mammoth Rock, but she did, in good time too. I moved a little faster so I kept going up the steep rock chute to the lookers left of Mammoth Rock. Made it above MR and on a ridge which I followed some ways further. Eventually I came down on the VERY steep and deep lookers right of MR. Sarah waited for me there. As the day wore on and it got warmer, the snow became softer and post-holing to your thigh or hips became more frequent. She had a tougher time getting down, but made it with a smile on her face. All told we hiked for 3.5 hours on very steep terrain with irregular snow conditions. Very good training run. I'm feeling stronger by the day.More importantly, I was super impressed when Sarah expressed interest in coming. Little did I know she'd actually make it. Her own training is really paying off.
