map hiking 3:49:37 [3] 6.13 mi (37:28 / mi) +154m 34:45 / mi
Putting out controls for Sunday's event at FCN. There's still a good bit of snow around although I expect a lot will disappear before Sunday with the warmish temps and rain predicted during the next 36 hours. Hope so as my footprints will lead people right to most controls otherwise.
The ranger let me drive my car up the water tower road so was able to drop off 8 gallons of water that I didn't need to lug up the hill. I also had to wait for the portable toilet guys to arrive so I could tell them where to place the unit. Finally got started around 12:30 which was actually fine since the rain had passed through by then.
I modified my planned route to lug the water in from where I dropped it to the actual controls. Only hung 13 flags and put in 6 more stakes. But those were the furthest 13 and all but a couple water stops are out so tomorrow shouldn't be bad at all. And if they let me drive up the road again it will go even faster!
I'm clearly not as recovered from last weekend as I thought I was. I was really dragging on the uphills and I didn't actually have to do much climbing today. And then towards the end, my back really started to bother me. Feels like a pinched nerve or something since it only hurts in one particular spot and only when I stand a particular way, And it's not the same area that was so sore on the long slog back to the finish.
And here I was getting all cocky about getting into shape. At least I didn't push it today and try to get a lot more done. The weather turned great towards the end - it was probably about 60 and the sun was making a showing and I still had a couple hours of daylight but I just had had enough.
I hung long pink streamers two weeks ago and all but one was still
