Anyone know how many sobo's are gonna make it?
Fiddlehead. I know you were just joking, so that's all good! But for the record, the AT record I "attempted" was partially funded. Not all of it, trust me! I would love to make 100k, but at the...
Hey LW, When I am in the Damascus area, I would love to meet you and enjoy some world class support. I'll be delerious, so any help would be great. Just follow whereskarl.com to see when I will get...
I love you guys! "Appalachian Assault" is just a play on words, kind of like when I came up with the name speedgoat. It just sounded good. I am sorry to offend anyone in Georgia....if that means...
I guess I'll chime in for a moment. I'm the guy who's gonna go run/hike the AT. It's not a real challenge of breaking the record. I get to do it supported. Maybe not the way the "old school"...

Records are in the mind of the beholder! I just can't wait to get started. I'm gonna post my "itinerary" on April 1st. For those who would like to throw in some useful info for me, that would be...
Thanks for the good words Ferryman, all the info I have recieved on this thread has been great. Will I take the Ferry? It's highly likely, or I'll have one set up myself. -Speedgoat Karl ...
Support crews pick up the trash, or really anyone who wants to do a good thing that day, see a hammered ultrarunner try and run 2175 miles as quick as possible, maybe help crew him and spend 20...
Ok I guess I'll answer, As far as crewing and helping out, I would be honored to have help along the way, I do have Matt Hart (an accomplished Ultrarunner himself) running all of Maine with me, just...
To be completely honest with all of you, what is accepted is what I'll do...if that makes any sense. If I must ford the river, I will ,but only if it is safe. The danger aspect is not really...
The reason I chose SOBO is because Andrew's Record is SOBO. I also am running a few other 100 milers this year. Coyote Two Moon in March and Western States in June. It fits my schedule best. ...
Yo Ed, Elevated legs, large consumption of food, perhaps a massage, things like that. And always a good nights sleep. Chilling out in the RV and preparing for the next day. I/someone will also log...
The term "Muling" in Ultrarunning refers to other people carrying gear or providing that extra flashlight in the darkness. I will be "supported", like Andrew Thompson and have a crew assist me with...
Thanks for all the good words! I'll need lots of good vibes to hang in for at least 47 days. I am also coordinating an effort to "Clean the AT". With my support crew and the help of many who will...
