My legs and body weren't tired ;-) Yeah next year it will be at the top of the list since I want it to be a fast time. I will wait at least two weeks after running a hundred next time.<br />Gonna try and do Whitney in a couple weeks should be fun ;-)Catrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00009441300980173501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15115012.post-88776107280987382382009-08-03T09:19:15.998-07:002009-08-03T09:19:15.998-07:00Great job toughing it out Catra.

Way to go tho, 131 miles is incredible. Hey I was wondering if you'd be willing to share your pack list? And maybe share why you made the pack choices you made? I'm in the Middle East right now with the Army but I'm going on leave to do some fast packing in late Aug. Thanks.

Sorry to hear about the bladder infection- they can be miserable, and dangerous. Do you have any of that pyridinium stuff for reducing the pain at least? That and Imodium seem like good first aid items to include for long trips like this (not to mention the Cipro that you needed).<br /><br />CynthiaDrs.

Do you carry a bear can (does not seem possible given size and weight of your pack)?
