Went to Olde Dutch on way home


Carb fest


Salad was also good

All my excuses
Notes on why fail
No hiking poles I needed them after the beach
Better rest been sleeping shitty
Too much water
Fast pace was killing me
No good rythum on breaks not sure breaks helped or hurt me this time
Too much with me
Not prepped good length hiking before

I should have thought more before my quit
I gave up when I enter wild cat maybe a few miles before even.  Mental game

Ultimately excuses 
I can and have done
Will send it next year doing night.

Parked at Old Man's Cave - super busy worse than memorial day hike and walked over to cedar falls for a nice 3.42 mile hike.
