That's great! I read the training thing, you have to wear boots? Is it like one of those combat things? If you did 25 in Canada I say you at least push for 30k. I used to do the race for a cure thing in downtown Columbus each year. I was part of the walking group, but one year I did the whole thing with my niece in a backpack carrier on my back.

No, the guy who wrote this is actually in the military I think. I did some research and found a thread on Reddit about shoes. The Alta Lone Peak seems to win out. It's a trail running shoe that isolates against blisters pretty well. 30k seems like a good distance for the first one. That might be the one distance I settle on. Those organized events can be fun! Wow, I bet that was a different experience with the weight on your back. How did you do?
I did okay. I was a lot younger back then though! They really only have you walking a mile or two I think, so it wasn't too bad. So is this 40k each day for four days or 40k across four days? I started second guessing my understanding of it after I read the post.
This is either 30k, 40k, or 50k (you choose the route) per day over four days. So a total of 120k, 160k, or 200k. I'm really leaning towards that 30k per day range now after thinking about it. If I really enjoy it I'll sign up again and try the longer route.
Dang, okay.
