Rachel Carson Trail Challenge June 2005

Posted by Picasa

This is typical of the many hills we had to climb during the 34-mile challenge. Standing at the bottom it was impossible to see all the way to the top. The footing was good but we had to be on the lookout for poison ivy. As difficult as the climbing was, the downhills were brutal. I ended up doing many of my descents backwards, a stratgey that probably saved my knees and allowed me to finish.
