Well, it all started when we were looking for a trail turn-off we didn't find. Okay, the boys didn't find, I was convinced it was the clearly marked turn-off we passed...
But somehow, several hours later, we're near the base of the crags in Lone Peak Cirque deciding it's a good idea to ski/downclimb/bush-whack a short-cut to the trail that they're 90% certain is down there.
Several hours later with raw legs, we find said trail. Then we winced the rest of the day everytime we passed through overgrown trails.
10+ hours, 30ish miles (we don't know, everyones watches died), and over 9000 vert.
The good news is that with going so slow and bushwhacking the first 6 hours recovery time was minimal. I strained a gluteus something or other, which pulls on my ITB and SI and give me occasional shooting pains, but neither of those two things are injured. I had my gluteus massaged a few times. I may love my job, but I wonder about my poor co-workers...
