Up the BCMC trail with Oscar! This was my first time doing it (it's been on my list for a while). I wore my new hiking boots that I'm trying to break in. It's weird having a less flexible sole, but they felt pretty comfortable except a little heel rubbing near the end. It was nice that it wasn't too hot out. I was moving fairly slowly, but at least I was moving at a steady pace. Need to get back into summer hiking shape! Went to go look at the bears at the top for a couple of minutes.

Hiking up the second peak of the Chief! The boys were too speedy for me, although Ian kindly waited for me at various points. It's been a while since I've done this. Reminded me of Quest days (although that one time I did it before moving my stuff up and down a lot of stairs was perhaps not the most well thought out one). My calves were quite sore the day after.

Stealing some of Kate's stats (although not sure how her down distance shorter than her up distances). Nice walk down with Caoimhe and Kate. Legs were feeling a little shaky near the end. I also think I might have ended up with middle heat exhaustion (or something like that) as I was super nauseous afterward and threw up several times later that night, which is very strange for me.

Super fun non-event event. I'd previously run on the map maybe 7 years ago or so, but not an actual course. It took me a little while to get into it. Mostly just tired and slow, but thoroughly enjoyed myself.
