MacLeHost Trail

yet another 20 over kilometres completed today. Seriously, I think I am out-doing myself in stamina. As reminded by the trail, Mt.Ophir was only horizontally 6km, and Kinabalu is only 8km.

My feet aches like as if it's walked since 7a.m. in the morning. My right knee threathens to give away whenever I head downslope. The highest peak in the trail is only 900m, yes, lower than Belumut or Ophir... but the horizontal traversing is really a test of endurance. not strength at all.

Well, good thing is that the trail boasts good scenic views and different vegetation/environment/experience in trekking. Walking on the ridges makes me feel that I'm sending a ring bearer to Mordor, although the scenery is not actually equal, but at least 70% in my opinion.

Bright side, I'm getting trained as a professional window shopper with all this leg work. Down side, I've managed to injure my knee for the first time in all these years of trekking.
