Good effort Abe
Wind and cold combined with hard physical work can really drain a person quick. Not to mention the frostnip you brought home as well.
Reminds me of coming back from moutainering in Peru this summer. The tip of two toes took about 3 weeks to recover. Now they are ready for Khan Tengri this summer...
Ever thought about doing the swedish race Vasaloppet over 90km? I haven't done it yet.
