Conquering #sleepingbeardunes #lakemichigan. We had an athlete do the whole thing in 14 minutes not knowing what to expect and saving a little in the tank. My 12 year old was probably about 22 minutes not running down first. I did it with my daughter comfortably in 30. She is a non athlete but is young, has grit and we broke it up. the views are breathtaking! The beach is beautiful. I recommend a fun, large step foot slide on the way down like sand skiing. on the way up, find and use other people's foot steps in the sand. The pics don't show just how steep the drop off is but trust me, there is a large chunk you have to climb and not walk. We did 20 climb steps then rest for 10 breaths. at the 40% mark I gave a full minute or so of taking in the view. There was a small portion we did ten step, 5 breaths and towards the top it gets easier so we do 40 steps and breathe. It helped! we beat people who started with stronger paces who looked athletic. Break it up, rest BEFORE you need it and your muscles aren't burning too bad. You'll do great! #climbing #hiking #roadtrip #adventure #stateparks #nationalpark #adventure #travel #sanddunes #challenge #workout #summervacation #foryou @ZzzzZzzz Ro @«𝔻𝔻» @Berr Kogler ⭐ Athlete @Berr🙂‍↔️
