Improving my Time on the Hillo The Chivos Hiking Workout

Greetings friends of Hive, today I'm going to share a training that I did in the Los Chivos hill in my community, in Villa de Cura, Aragua state, Venezuela.

This time when I went out, the sun was quite strong, I had planned to climb at a gentle pace, but at the entrance to the mountain, I met two friends walkers who was going to get to the part where the towers are, then I stayed behind them, but they increased the pace of the walk and I also accelerated the pace, when we reached the first hill where the cross is, my watch registered 8:00 minutes.

Then I left the two hikers, I listened in the back when they were talking, I continued walking at the same pace, I reached the second hill, there was a small break where I had 12:00 minutes, I tried to keep a short but fast pace, until I reached the third slope, where my watch marked 14 minutes and 45 seconds, a good time, in this part of the mountain.

After this effort in the first three climbs, then we found a flat part and downhill, until we reached the sector of Las Mercedes, with 20 minutes, whenever I go at a strong pace, this has been the mark that I make. From here we started to climb again, it is like a 600 meters slope, the sun was hitting my body, but thanks to the vegetation and trees, it helps you to feel good on this mountain.

One of the things I could see on the mountain, there were several fallen trees, I imagine that in these days that it rained, strong winds caused them to fall. After finishing climbing the slope of 600 meters, at the top I had 27 minutes, I think that according to these partial possibly better my mark to the part where the stone is whose last mark is 33 minutes and 40 seconds.

Well friends, I tried to maintain the same speed of the walk, my watch had the partial to Las Torres of 29 minutes, I continued walking, in this part there is another slope but it is shorter, then I reached the stone with a time of 33 with 22 seconds, dropping then 18 seconds, I was a little exhausted from the effort made.

I rested for two minutes, and I took advantage here to hydrate and take some pictures of this beautiful landscape, these are the things that I like to enjoy the environment, on the way back there were some Guava trees that were loaded, I took the opportunity to eat some fruits that were beginning to ripen.
