Germantown + TwinCreek -- 22 - 23 miles -- Last Training for TVT

All,

We're going to start at the main entrance for the Germantown MetroPark (the Visitor's Center on Boomshine Rd), and go counter-clockwise and hike all the way down to Kercher Park and take the connector trail to Twin Creek. Then, we'll go counter-clockwise at Twin Creek, hiking the length of that trail, passing through High View and doing the purple trail in full. Then, we'll make our way back to the Visitor's Center by the path we came.

This is the last training for the TVT, which is on June 7! This will be about 22 - 23 miles, and thus we must start very early. I did this practice hike by accident once and it was very brutal... please pack adequate hydration! There won't really be any spots to fill up besides maybe a water fountain like 10 - 15 miles in.

Hope to see you guys there! If there is rain/storms, I will cancel. If things get rough, I may amend the hike and we may hike less, but expect at least 15 miles at a minimum. The pace will be 3.0 - 3.5mph. If we can do it faster, that will be good, but these long hikes do erode speed over time, and Germantown and Twin Creek famously have very slow, very hilly sections.
