I’m Off To Mt. Whitney
I’m taking off for Mt. Whitney this morning. It seems like only yesterday that I managed to secure a permit to the Mt. Whitney trail. The training is over, and now it’s just me, my doubts and concerns, and the mountain. I hope to be sitting on the summit taking in the view Thursday morning at 11am.
Karin and I ran to REI this past weekend to pick up a few provisions for the run. I have the camera charged and ready to go. My water supply should be sufficient, but I’ll be bringing along an extra bottle of water just in case. Better safe than sorry.
Space is at a premium, with my Camelbak having pocket space for the bare essentials. I’m hoping to complete this run in eight hours, but I’m not going to push it too hard. I’m going to listen to the body and do what it lets me. Get to the top, then book down the mountain for an early dinner. Well…that’s the plan at least.
Rumor has it that the hotel has Wi-Fi, so hopefully I’ll be able to provide updates. If not, then expect a huge pictorial posting first thing Monday morning.
That’s it…I’m off. Wish me luck!
