Hiking (White Mountains) 6:00:00 [3] 11.0 km (32:44 / km) +1000m 22:30 / km
shoes: Adidas Response Trail 14
Schools finally out, so Jackson and I headed to NH for our annual backpacking adventure - but we decided to sleep in comfort (my sister in law's cabin) and just do day hikes this year.
We went to Crawford Depot and hiked the Avalon trail to Mt Avalon, then up to Mt. Field. Had intended to do the ridge walk to Mt Willey, but the climb to Field had taken more time than I planned, plus I didn't have much zip. The sound of distant thunder nixed that plan so we cut out the ridge traverse and just went down to the A-Z col and up the short spur to Mt Tom, then back down to the car where it started raining in the last couple 100 yards. Looking back up the mountain we couldn't see the summits any longer but it was clear they were embroiled in a pretty decent thunderstorm..
Nothing in the legs, felt like I had run a long race the day before. Must be coming down with something.
