I went on my first training hike with the Toronto Bruce Trail Club today. It was stinking hot. I think the leader shortened the route so we ended up doing about 13k.
For this first hike, I decided to focus on my boots so carried a waist bag which held food and a bike bottle of water instead of a knapsack. I almost ran out of water but other than that, felt strong and boots/ double socking worked well. I was tired when I got home but not sore. It is great to feel so much fitter than when I was training for the Inca Trail 2 years ago.
9 weeks to go!
