It was the 3rd day of my journey on the TCT. I woke up at 6 am, and was still exhausted. I planned to get in an 11 mile hike today. Everything I needed was laid out and ready to go. I just had to get out of bed. It was an epic day hike all the way to Parsons Landing. I had just about completed my Trans Catalina Trail thru hike.
