Catoctin mountain training - Sunday, June 27
« on: June 20, 2010, 01:15:34 PM »
As part of my Natural Method craze, I looked up Catoctin Mountain and that place seems perfect for a day of natural method training ;D

My plan is:
- get to the park at 8:30 AM (I'm leaving from Primal at 7:00 sharp, if anyone wants a ride)
- park at the parking lot by the lake (yes, there is a lake)
- walk to the falls (yes, there are falls too)
- hike the 8 mile loop going up and down the mountain, climbing around on rocks, etc
- get back to the falls and then to the lake for a well deserved afternoon swim

Obviously, this is a day trip so pack yourself a lunch and enough water supplies. Don't forget your sunscreen either. The estimated length of the hike is about 5 hours, and even though we'll go faster while running, we'll also slow down to play on the rocks. And don't forget your bathing suit, towel, etc (which we can leave in cars), as we will chill out in the lake at the end of the day.

Let me know if you need a ride, and please post here if you plan to drive and have some extra room to pick up a few traceurs somewhere.

Hey, sorry I couldn't join you guys today; the conference has been pretty crazy, and I won't be able to get away to do anything until it ends Monday; starting Tuesday, I will be hitting the tourist sites and will hopefully get to do some PK.  I haven't gotten any exercise except for a half-hour yesterday evening when I squeezed in a run, but it was too hot and humid to stay out longer than 30 minutes.  I haven't even walked up to Primal, which is a few minutes away from the convention centre...
