MR No-breath Jog

Home sweet home finally after the Mt Chola climb.

Headed to MR this morning for a run. Omg, could not breathe for the first 10min. It was like sucking oxygen through a wet face mask. So humid! I gave up and walked along. All body systems were still shut down. Told the guys to go ahead.

Met George & co at the ranger station and ran with them. We were caught by the sudden torrential downpour, which surprisingly cleared the humid air and I could breathe properly again!

A day of extremes. From 6000m to 0 altitude. From 0 humidity to 100%. From sub-0 temperatures to high 30. And from knee deep snow to ankle deep rain. Gosh.
