Notes

Presidential Traverse with Dan. Got to Madison via Watson Path in 2:26, Adams in 1:11 (3:37), Jefferson in 1:25 (5:02), Washington in 1:57 (6:59), Stayed on Washington for 40 minutes (7:39 - yikes!), Monroe in 1:07 (8:46). Eisenhower in 1:15 (10:01), Pierce in 0:54 (10:55) and down to Crawford Notch in 1:41 (12:36). Dan had an upset stomach and bypassed the Eisenhower summit. Weather was excellent, but my feet got wet from walking through wet bushes, so wet that I had to change my socks - twice. My shoes neither repelled the water nor dried well after getting wet. As a result I got blisters on my toes. My right ankle hurt the whole time - not sure what that's about. Fitness wise I felt great and had tons of energy, but I can't imagine how we did 33.5 miles in one shot last year.
