So while still feeling a little under the weather, we headed out by trail to Fuji-san. 3 hours on several trains, then transfer to a bus and we're there. A quick lunch and off we go... Climbing Fuji-san is an experience and an exercise in bother patience and endurance. Go too fast - altitude sickness. Go too slow and you will just get tired. It is a 4 hour climb if you stay steady and don't get sick or wear out... We were on track for that until the last bit when the wheels came off our effort. I was tired, Howard was light headed and nauseous. Time to take a break and let his body adjust. From then on... it was slow going. We reached the summit and had a look around, but all too soon, we had to head back down. We were doing a day trip and had to get home so I could work in the morning.
Eventually... it all ends here....
I am trying to convince myself, this counts as training... I mean... It counts, right?
Anyhow... a week of Drinking, Baseball, Drinking, Hiking, Drinking, Exploring, & Drinking... it is time to catch up on much needed rest.
