Welcome to the Monday Minute of the Huntback Country podcast.

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

joined as usual by Steve.

We were just chatting before he didn't record about the death hike, which is this week.

And I don't know, we we're making call it final preparations decisions

strategies all that good stuff it's top of mind I'm sitting here with the two ice packs

on each knee and one on my lower back oh perfect you sound like you're ready to go yeah that

actually feel pretty good just being super preventative i guess you could say yeah oh man yeah

it's gonna be it's gonna be good we're taking off we're flying uh Wednesday everyone's getting to

the Grand Canyon and essentially going to start super early Thursday morning be hiking by like

4 a.m so we will be back with some

stories to tell, hopefully some victories we conquered. I know in my head, I had this thought, like,

in CrossFit workouts, which I've never actually done, but I'm familiar with them enough to know

the concept. They have this idea of

like a buy-in for some workouts where it's like hey you have to do this and then the real workout

starts in my head doing the first rim to rim to rim is just a buy-in like it doesn't even start

until after that and if that's all I do is a buy-in, I'm going to be

pretty ticked. So we'll see what happens. Yeah. I think I mentioned the last time,

I'm just super nervous about, I know I can knock out the first 50 and then what the next 50

looks like as far as can I get through it without with being able to function like

with you know I'm okay with being super sore and pretty much worthless for a week but I don't want to

be two three four weeks of hobbling around right um where there's just too much crap to do so
