Wow, what a tale of two halves. Felt so incredible going north, was way ahead of my pace and didn't even feel like I was trying that hard. Some navigation hesitation after Percival, but never really went the wrong way, just did a could double takes. Going down to Sandwich Notch was a little defeating, because I knew I was about to turn around and come right back up. Chugged a bit of maple syrup and then that was the end of me. I had already committed to power hiking up from the road, but then when I tried to run again, I felt so bloated and full of gas and uncomfortable. The running just never really came back the same 🫠. Southbound was about 20 minutes longer than north, and I'm honestly surprised it wasn't more. Did the ladder out & back. Next time I try I hope I'll be able to pick it up a bit more out and back from percival.
