I read with some amusement about hiker Stringbean who completed the AT in 45 days, 12 hours and 15 minutes. I didn’t check the math, but the article mentions that is an average of about 50 miles per day. Wut?
I too am interested in a record. I want to do the slowest hike, taking the longest amount of time with still making it to Katadhin before it is closed. I am sort of kidding, but I am planning on starting early, starting slow, and am fully expecting a whole lot of people to catch up and pass me before too long. Once I get my trail legs, I would like to eventually do a 20 mile day, but I see no need to do that more than once.
Maybe I’ll see some of you out there.
