Ben slept through his alarm this morning (stood his climbing partner up @5am) so I took the opportunity to get a quick 8 miles in @DD. Didn't feel like pushing, didn't feel like walking. Did around an 8:45-9min mile pace.
Then I went to work and got a text... "Hey, are we still on for Blanche tonight?" Oops. "Sure..."
Marty was taking it slow and we hiked up. Came across a bull moose in the trail. Every time we'd make a movie to go around him, he'd turn, stare us down, and take a step towards us. He did a good job keeping us in our place.
Tried to push towards the summit before the sun finished setting:
Came down in the dark and I took it easy. Also saw a giant spider... tarantula maybe? I tried to stop to do a double-take but got run into.
