I finished the Cup and Saucer Loop just a little earlier in the day. So that meant this was the second FKT of the day for me. First time doing this. I figured my legs would be feeling it from the effort earlier, but I'll just do my best. I had scoped this trail out yesterday as well. It's very unique! I got started at the sign at 10 AM. I took the trail counter clockwise. I made my way to the coast and then followed the coastline for quite a while. At some points it literally feels like you're running on pavement. Towards the end of the coast section, I did feel my legs getting tired. I knew I just had to make it through the inland section though and then it was all over. I tried to stay strong though the inland section, which is also very beautiful. Finished back at the sign and was happy to be done. Luckily, there was no 3rd FKT to do today haha. This trail is located in Misery Bay Provincial Park. It's on the east side of the island. It's a bit of a drive, but worth it. The coastline is very beautiful. Now it's time to enjoy the rest of the time on the island before catching the ferry to Tobermory. My picture uploaded this time to the site which is great.
