Can we talk about why everyone builds mileage into day one on a three day route?

Oh sure, because nothing says "fun weekend trip" like turning day one into a death march with a 20 mile "warm up" before anyone's even had their coffee. It's like people think the route's not legit unless they're limping into camp at dark with blisters the size of golf balls. I've seen guys plan a three day loop and cram 15 miles into the first morning just to "get the hard part done," then spend the next two days moving at the speed of a turtle with a hangover. Half the time they're so wrecked by day two that the whole "easy" part of the route turns into a crawl anyway. Just start slow, eat some snacks, and save your legs for the actual views.
