Why is the unofficial motto of the Continental Divide Trail "Embrace the Brutality?"
Because it is...
Brutally steep,
Brutally flat,
Brutally endless,
Brutally wild,
Brutally wet,
Brutally dry,
Brutally solitary,
Brutally inspiring,
Brutally boring,
Brutally mental,
Brutally physical,
Brutally hot,
Brutally cold.
Every day is extreme in a different way. On the CDT, we embrace these challenges. We make them our own. We EMBRACE THE BRUTALITY! I've been training hard in all kinds of weather, on all kinds of terrain, and distances up to 30 miles to prepare my body, mind, and emotions for the CDT in 2018. I'm feeling strong and looking forward to the challenge.
