Monday’s Hash was a real throwback for me. I actually enjoyed the trail and didn’t even find it necessary to shortcut. The best thing was not dragging ass, breathless and light-headed, during the hike. Maybe taking the day off on Sunday was not such a bad thing after all. The trail was only 6K, but it had two climbs of moderate difficulty. What I liked best though was a good portion of the trail was first-time territory for me. It’s good to see something new for a change. Let’s do the photos, shall we?
A chance to Relive the hike if you’d like:
It was a good day for feeling good on trail. I was the last one back (again) but I don’t care. I was too busy enjoying myself to be in a hurry.
And that’s the skinny on this week’s Hash post.
You seem to be recovering nicely. Thanks for the pics and the narrative!
Am suddenly realizing that your first paragraph mentions a throwback but doesn’t seem to explain what the throwback was. There’s a line in one of the picture captions about how the first part of the day’s trail was familiar… was that the throwback? Or was the trail a throwback in the sense that you enjoyed it and didn’t use any shortcuts?
It was inartful wording to be sure, but yes, what I meant by “throwback” was going back to a time when I’d do the entire trail and enjoy it. The Hare kept it sane so I didn’t have to…
