Day 2: Allen, Marshall, Iroquois, Algonquin, Wright, Street, Nye, Phelps, Table Top, Colden

Woke up quite startled because I thought I’d only slept for a minute but it  had been 30 minutes or so. I wanted to sleep more so I told myself I’d try to sleep for a few more minutes. It didn’t work and I started moving. 

Allen was steep and slow. I got back to my pack and clearly forgot how much uphill there is to get to the flowed lands. I was happy to get my pack off for Marshall and the big loop to end my day. 

After Marshall out and back I left my pack near the dam on lake Colden and packed up my vest for the loop. Climb went well and as I was going over the range I started to feel the lack of sleep. 

Down and past the LOJ I was feeling so demoralized. I felt like I was making no progress and there was no reason for me to be out there. I truly wanted to quit and I’d convinced myself that I didn’t care. With all that going on in my head my body still moved forward up Street and Nye. I tried to take a quick nap because I thought the sleep was making me cranky but I couldn’t sleep. 

On the climb up I called Lance Parker and Maia Buckingham. The words I have to describe the pep talks I got from these two will fall short in describing how much I needed them in that moment. 

Up until this point I felt like my commitment wasn’t fully there. After this moment, felt fully committed. 

I ran back to and past the LOJ and when the sun went down I felt sleepy enough to take a dirt nap. Near Marcy dam I slept for 20 minutes or so. 

I climbed Phelps, Table Top, and Colden in the cool of the night. A slow descent made for a 24 hr push when all was said and done.  I got to my gear around 3:15 am, rinsed my feet off in the river and slept my longest stretch for 3.5 hrs.
