All right, welcome to the Monday minutes of the Huntback Country podcast.

These are shorter and more informal episodes where we answer your listener questions.

Today on this Monday Minute, we're just post death hike.

So we did a bonus episode this past Friday.

Before the death hike, we are going to do a bigger recap with some of the participants

of the death hike this coming Friday.

But today joined by Steve, who you did just return from the death hike.

Let's start here on with skill of 1 to 10.

How destroyed are you right now, Steve?

Yeah, 24 hours ago, I was a 10.

I've been shocked how quickly I recovered.

But for me, I've talked about it before on the podcast.

I struggle with essentially, like, IT band issues.

And it could be left or right, depends on the year.

And they get really, really tight and then pull on my knee.

And the knee is just every step just feels like someone's got a screwdriver in the side

of the knee and hitting the screw back of the screwdriver with a hammer.

It's just this very, very sharp pain.

And it just flares up sometimes.

And I thought I hadn't had it for a couple of years.

But that flared up.

And I think that feeds on the rest of itself.
