main course is a 12 station circuit with not to much cardio cause it's VERY hot, even if there is air conditionning. we do the circuit 3 times.. 10 secs between each exercise.. 2 mins between rounds.. 1st time.. 30 secs each exercise, 2nd time 45 secs and 3rd time 1 min . doing high knees followed by burpees is quite something in the middle of all that..

CAR TRIP to Adirondack Park, NY 
departure : 6h07 AM ~ 3 hours

TABLETOP 22 / 46
with Gabriel
HIKING  time : ~  6h30min Start at 9h23 AM we don't really stop for lunch.
WEIGHT OF PACSAC : 20 lbs
ALTITUDE :
4413' /
ASSENT 2233 ' /
TOTAL LENGTH  ~
16 km
TEMPERATURE : 20°c mostly covered skies... we're lucky, it was supposed to be 26 and sunny

 

Take pictures of Post-hurricaine Irene 2011.. the bridge on the Auto road to the lodge took a heavy beating and the foot bridge over Marcy Dam is no more. We rock-hop over the brook and walk up the car trail for a few hundered feet.

Tabletop is between Phelps and Marcy..  We hike from ADK Loj to a well marked path to the left. (brown on the map)

The herd path to Tabletop cannot be missed, and because of the hot dry week we've had, even the mud levels are reasonnable. Gaby finds that there are ALOT of bugs, but they don't seem to bother me.

Legend says that only hikers doing the 46 High Peaks go to Tabletop., check it with some of the hikers we cross, they agree and are at 39.
