Day 12

5 miles hiked/ solo camp
-Saw 12 people going NOBO today 


Today I was going to hike 9.5 miles uphill, but the altitude really started to kick my ass so I just went 5 miles instead.


It was so hot today. I didn’t start hiking till 11ish because we know how much I love my sleep and I slept till 8am. Then packed up and organized and left for trail at 10:30.

I ate 12 slices of ham for my lunch LOL. 

It’s about 1:15pm right now and I’ve only gone like 2.8 miles.
My chest is so tight from the altitude and my headache is brutal. 


I am going to rest till 1:30 and then keep pushing. Maybe if I rest every half mile I’ll be okay. 


God I hate altitude. 


Second lunch I ate a Nutella peanut butter wrap. 


I got to camp at 3pm. It’s so hot out as it’s still early, so I set up my tent (took like 20 minutes because it’s soooo windy I had to go searching for rocks… I hope this time my tent holds) 


Then I walked .2 back to shade I found before and read a bit. 


I had to reinforce my tent again. This wind is getting to me… 


I watched my show, posted on Instagram, saw a beautiful sunset (FINALLY) and went to sleep :) 


Tomorrow will be a hard day but I’m excited for the challenge.
