What's up with the big hills, Oxfam dudes...??? This course is killing us. Back training over the weekend; rain, hail, a spot of shine - plenty of FOG and WIND!!!!!!! Good hair is not happening and not likely anytime soon. Where are you GHD? Trace can now add "Wild Man of Borneo" to her long list of Oscar-winning impressions. Unruly - beyond words.
Beginning to CP 2 knocked off, despite getting lost on the way to the Start. As always our tactic of following some random individual who looked like they were going where we were didn't pay off...But we finally made it to Shiroyama Track and Field. Met lots of fellow trailwalkers along the course. So friendly and helpful. We're a bit hopeless on any down section - our knees and joints are not faring well...but we've discovered we are pretty strong going up - could go up for days...and we will be...Power up those peaks. Ups and downs, we keep going. Fabulous scenery, snakes (again) and Fuji always there, mist and all.New shoes bought on Sunday. Love ART SPORTS in Shibs. Physio Monday. Off again tomorrow 4.30am start. And our new favorite Rest Stop ASHIGARA - with it's STARBUCKS (and probably horrendous traffic) waiting at the end..
Start to CP 2 Highlights...
