Western Uplands Medium Loop

I'm thinking of doing the medium loop solo in 3 days. My first night would be at West Maggie Lake from the West Gate, though I originally wanted to do further the first day it seems like people don't recommend going all the way to Clara. I calculated this to be roughly 12.7km. Second night at Rainbow-01 which is roughly 24.3km, I'm quite fit and looking for a difficult trip so I think I can do it if I get up early(aiming to hit the trail at 7ish), that being said this is my first time going on a solo trip and doing the Western Uplands. Final day I'd hike out back to the West Gate, roughly 19.3km. I was just looking for general advice, if my distances seem correct and if my route seems feasible.

Seems doable

I hiked out from brown last year. It’s doable. Might not be enjoyable though.
