This was just a short hike down to Alaskan Way and back, because SVTC was involved in an 8-mile hike to Lake Washington and back to the Ivar's statue at Madison and Alaskan way. I wore my weight vest and a backpack weighing 14 pound. It was all about the conditioning. I took along no food, and by the time I had ascended with the two hiking companions (Dede and Ann), I realized walking farther to Lake Washington was going to be more than I was up for, considering the load. And I didn't want to hold the ladies up, so I packed it in. But it was a good hike.
Stats for the day:
Distance: 2.8 miles
Conditions: Clear sky, cool
Load: 34 pounds
Elevation gain: 300 feet, at least
Statistics, year to date:
Distance: 238.8 miles
Elevation Gain: 73,478 feet
