C O N Q U E R E D!!! πππ
Up at 2 a.m.π³π³ to be on the road at 3:30 a.m. The goal was to get an early start to beat the heat. As we set out, I felt good. About 2 hours into the hike, I started feeling weird. I kept stopping every few feet just to catch my breath and felt like puking.πππ This is my third time on this mountain and in higher elevations and never experienced anything like this. I packed 3 liters of water with electrolytes, 1 1.05 oz frozen coconut pineapple water, frozen Gatorade, snacks and lunch. I kept praying to God to get me through this and talking myself out of continuing and that I would be okay if I didnβt summit because my health is more important and I could join my 2 other sisters that turned back around earlier due to 1 experienced elevation sickness. I noticed a lot people were really struggling on the trail. It was warm out, and I was feeling the altitude and the air quality was bad. I took it slow and steady and pressed foward. I finally made it to the top! ππI really felt like shit, but glad I made it up there safe. I cried when I reached the top, because I knew what I had just experienced. I wasnβt my jolly self and had no appetite, but knew I had to eat. I felt that once I headed back down, I would be back to my normal self.ππ This beast was physically and mentally challenging and took everything out of me.
I felt back to normal when I made it to In-N-Out Burgers. ππThank you Lord!!π
