CP2-CP4 done! Favorite part of the course so far...not just because it was flat and a respite from those crazy big bumps, but it was pretty and scenic, gorgeous weather and Fuji was in full view again...guess we are on Fuji-overload right now, because in 3 short weeks Nat will be here and Fuji will then be gone forever, roll on in fog. We know you are coming. Early start, precious coffee time - thank you. Met lots of trail runners yesterday. We wanna be runners, but we just carry way too much stuff...high maintenance hikers. Time to re-think the day packs. Probably don't need so much lipgloss and food.
Trace's new stability tights are fab, shoes are good, ITBS is ok for now. Minor mishap not having any change smaller than for 5000yen on the bus. Finally negotiated a bus pass - the driver so kind, happy and super helpful. And we only made him 1 mintue late.
Have taken our drive-by photogaphy shooting to new heights and we are now walk-by shooters. The Hakone Check-Point staff were in hysterics seeing us bowl through the historical site furiously snapping as we merrily wandered on. Love the course taking us through local backstreets. We are now fans of gateball. We just need the hats to pull it off.
Heading out again on the weekend, insufferable Golden Week traffic and all, to do CP4-CP5 and 5-6. Until then back to training and working on the wardrobe.
Here are the CP2-CP4 ups, downs, walk-bys...
