bros I'm out of shape, can't even run a mile, and just went on a road trip with a lot of hiking and basically the whole time it was like this:
>Huffing and puffing my way to the top
>Passing everyone
>Slam my foot into a rock, every step hurts
>Still passing everyone
>Quads cramping
>Somehow still passing everyone
>Water and granola bar(s) break so I can wait for people up ahead
>Catch up with them anyway
>Stare out at nature and take pictures
>Still catch up to the people I was waiting on earlier
A dude passed me on a hike and I realized that's the only time it had happened in about a month. I'm already hiking embarrassingly slowly, and I'm already staring at nature and taking stupid amounts of pictures. I even autistically overpack, so my bag usually starts off at like 25 pounds (this is for simple hikes, not overnighters). Of course I'll outhike fat old people, but I'm still passing by all these fit-looking people in their 20's, when there is no reason that should be happening. What, uhh... I don't even know what to ask. Am I... hiking wrong?
