So I’m an adventure elopement photographer with POTS, VVS, SVT, as well as some other and avid hiker and now that the season is underway I’m finding once again I’m sleeping for days, cutting my regular workouts from low energy, dizzy spells, or chest pain and dealing with heavy fatigue and brain fog for days after the more strenuous hikes, then cycle repeats and I feel like I’m constantly playing catchup.

I mostly hike 10 plus km trails or trails that lead up to lookouts for wedding scouting at least a few times a month, the last one was 280 meters in elevation within the first few km.

To clarify a few other things, I’m doing 7000 ish mg of sodium a day, high protein, etc. My normal training to prep for hikes and carrying heavy gear while balancing pots includes incline walking and weight training and lap swimming in the nicer weather.

I posted a few weeks ago but I was definitely a bit ahead of myself, we’re hoping to hike Centennial Ridges Trail this weekend, but I’d noticed that with the ice and flooding this year here in Muskoka that the park’s official opening is delayed a week so I’m just wondering if anyone knows when the trailhead opening is for Centennial ( since I’m not really sure if you’re allowed to hike when the trail road is closed).

Alternatively in a different direction does anyone know if Brent Crater Trail is open? I’ve checked the park site and can’t find much information on that area of the park.
