Birthday Hike Tradition Koko Head

Aloha, I woke up in the wee hours of my 27th birthday on a mission to conquer Koko Head. Not only did I conquer it, I rocked my best time yet! 27: 48. In my last Koko Head post I challenged myself to finish in 28 minutes!  

I've blogged about my previous hikes up Koko Head before. ( Hike One  , Hike Two) In that second post I challenged myself to finishing it in 28 minutes! On this special day, I grabbed my Go Pro to capture the view. Usually I just use my iphone photos for the blog. This was a treat! I have many more Go Pro hikes to share with you! 

This bridge is always the sketchiest part. 

Just to make you really feel my fear, here is a clip of my descend on the bridge portion of the hill.

Shaka for completing Koko Head and for birthdays. 

Aloha!

Koko Head Round 2

Aloha, 

Guess what I did? 

I conquered Koko Head again! 

This time I managed to climb up all of those railroad ties in 29 minutes! My supportive guy never left my side and encouraged me each step towards our goal. 

29 minutes made me feel fancy enough to balance my weight with my shaky legs on top of this structure. 

I took a moment to send up some prayers on the prayer box for my grandpa. 

Isn't that such a gorgeous place to send your prayers? All of that work to the top of the mountain, sweating your butt off, and you get to send your prayers above Honolulu. 

Here is Brady and I half way down the mountain at the bridge. That bridge is so sketchy with jello legs mixed with the sharp decline. 

I hope I never have to do this hike again. But hey, if I do, i'll kill it in 28 minutes. 

Mahalo,

Erin
