Happily ahead of Par
What a feeling! I couldn’t keep the smile off my face today, I was so excited to be in fact at Par and now slightly ahead of it. Each creamy corn lap was fun, each summit exciting. Damn I cannot believe how long it took me to get back on PAR. June 1st I fell behind and now its Oct 10th, so many days spent playing catch up. The farthest behind was probable 75 000 feet, and then I would gain some, loose some. And now finally on day 283 I am ahead of par. At an average of 5480 ft a day I should be at 1550840, and I am at 1553460 ft, exactly 2620 feet ahead. Yahhhhhh.
And when I hit par, on the summit of Volcan Viejo, I showed the mountains that hill is still kickin’
Pretty tough to time that one with my self-timer, but five tries later and I got it. From there I rewarded myself with a nice dunk in the hotsprings.
This hotspring is kinda warm, not hot, but so refreshing on this warm spring day. Then a last tour up and home. My seventh 10 thousand footer in a row..
And now I am celebrating,a steak on the barbecue, a bottle of Merlot and I am going to skype call anyone I know back home.

You’re definitely the king of self-timing portraits by now… amongst other things! Like climbing mountains and carving lines down them for example! Congratulation for reaching your goal of hitting Par…. now enjoy the road :oD
