I hiked 40 miles in one day. This is what happened. I was almost blown off a ridge by a gust of wind, encountered a big dog on the trail, I devoured 2 giant burgers and some alligator bites, could barely move, almost couldn't climb out of a wash and more.
I went back and did the math best I could and my mileage for the day may have been between 38 and change, and 41 and change.
my average pace is 3.4 - 3.6 depending on the terrain. when I hit flat areas I move out.
on some of the downhill areas, coming out of Silverwood lake, I lightly jogged.
base pack weight about 10-11lbs
