Last year we stopped in Vader on day 1, which was about 130 miles. I live in Chehalis which was at about mile 110. It worked out pretty good since we had a friend's wife pick us up and drive us home. I got to sleep in my own bed and in the morning we hitched a ride back to where we left off.
My butt hurt like crazy all of day 2 so I'm glad we put in the extra miles on day 1!
Great training option is to sign up for the monthly miles thread. I will see you ALL there!
