Rae Lakes 2 days feasibility

Hi I got a permit for Rae Lakes CCW starting Saturday, but I can’t take vacation so I’d have to finish Sunday or before ~9am Monday.

What fitness level is required to finish Rae Lakes loop in 2 days?

I’ve done long runs (one backyard ultramarathon ~40 miles a year ago) and elevation (5 days High Sierra Trail last week) separately, but never together. Wondering if a goal of 2 days is bordering on trail running/fastpacking, or if it’ll be extremely long days of hiking?

edit: Thanks all. I think the comments are TLDR; it’s feasible but may not be enjoyable and may be too fast to fully enjoy everything on the loop, but it’s still better than not doing it. I will think about this…this would be my last chance this season, and there’s no guarantees I would have available vacation time to do this in the next years either.
