I learn new stuff every day… So, here I am thinking for the longest time there is only an “overall” world record for self-supported FKT hiking of the Appalachian Trail, and this morning I’m watching a video by ‘Darwin onthetrail’ and he mentions his friend Dan “Knots” Binde winning the overall world record just recently. So, of course I had to check it out. Although it’s not verified as of this moment, he literally just beat it in late July, it’s true! And I learned after checking in with the Fastest Known Time pro board, that there is a women’s and men’s category as well. So, Heather “Anish” Anderson is still the woman to beat (54 days, 7 hours, 58 minutes) although Dan, once verified, would be the overall winner. Congrats to Dan BTW, because that is one SOB of a feat to beat!!!! Amazing time of 53 days, 22 hours, 57 minutes! All I can say is ” Oh holy hell that will be hard to beat!”
Lift off for myself in only a couple weeks!
