The most awkward part of learning trails

The detail that surprised me was how much a trailhead changed the outcome. Same plan, different setting, completely different energy.

I had a disappointing first try, a surprisingly good second try, and then a third attempt that taught me humility. So, naturally, I now have opinions.

I am mostly here for the follow-up. This pairs weirdly well with sourdough. Recovery is training too.

The vibe here is immaculate. The a tiny balcony detail changes the whole answer.
