As I drift off to sleep, I know that the journey ahead will be long and challenging. The next 76 hours will be filled with ups and downs, twists and turns. I will face steep inclines and treacherous terrain, unpredictable weather and fatigue. But I am ready. I am ready to face my fears, to push through my limits, and to discover the beauty and wonder of the Callary.

According to the Initiate’s Manual, Chapter 1 was the trial of the Body. It was the easiest of the four stages, or so the veterans claimed. They lied.
