Day 3 of "Softrock" -
Today was a rest day so that we would be able to pace at the official Hardrock race tomorrow. Jon would pace Stuart Air and I would pace Tim Adams. For our rest day, we took a scenic hike up Bear Creek (start of Engineer Mtn). We even had Beth along for today's hike so the company was infinitely better than just Jon and I. The pace was pretty easy but even with that I was feeling worn down and tired. Better get to bed early and get some extra sleep so I could pace around 20 miles of hiking with Tim.
The trail today was pretty sweet with a ton of switchbacks to climb about 1k' before entering the canyon. Miners cut this trail literally out of the side of the mountain. Very cool.
5 miles - 3:10 elasped, 1:40 moving, 1500' vert
