Thanks for sharing. This brings back memories: I did a four day loop alone, but I didn't carry anything, I just stayed in the three towns along the way. (I started and ended in Sherman, which is one of the few places on the course, besides the three towns, that you can drive to in a regular car.) Your day #2 was a *monster* day: It's a day's effort just to go from Telluride to Ouray, but you tacked on the 5000 ft. climb over Engineers, then ran down to the next valley. Great job!
I'm glad you liked the post, Bruce! Staying in the towns is probably a great way to do Soft Rock as it allows you to go much lighter. Yes, our 2nd day was probably our hardest day - the 5,000' climb out of Ouray up to Engineers Pass is no joke!
I ran about 2 miles yesterday
