I've covered over 500 miles on the LT in the past 2 years. I have seen 1 bear, and it ran like hell before I even knew it was there.
Baxter State Park posted on their facebook page about how SJ was ticketed for bring Alcohol to Katahdin, littering (this was not elaborated on, but I doubt anyone in SJ's party was throwing candy bar...
Well, that was fun!.....soooo, hear of any sobo attempts happening this year??
46 days 7 hours and some odd minutes???
Just got a New York Times breaking new alert about the winner of Wimbledon, but nothing about SJ, he must not be to the sign yet...
he could be finished any second now...
nah he started May 27th.
Very true, but I think the point was if Jen had some way of knowing that in 4 years SJ would finish 4 hours faster than 46 11 20 then she could have shaved another 4 or so hours of in the last week...
makes strange claims then retorts with insults...nice!
about to miles to go as of 11:46? and he's moving well! Looks to be about a 1pm finish for a nice little 4 hour shave off the record!
Did anyone think those extra 8 miles from 2011 to 2015 would have this big of an impact? I sure didn't!
Looks like he's at rainbow stream lean-to as of 10:05. So 30 miles left with a shade over 19 hours to go. Still no sleep in 40+ hours.
Looks like his vegan diet is good enough to get him to katahdin faster than any other meat eater has ever done it.
I think he would be happy to finish in the dark, that would mean he would be at the sign before 5AM. 33 miles in 9 hours, now that would be impressive given everything he's been through!
I don't think he needs to either, but he has seemed pretty averse to sleeping these last few days. I wonder if the lack of sleep may be negatively impacting his pace to the point where he would end...
can he really go another 21 hours with no sleep?? that would make about 58 hours with at lease nothing more than a 30 minute or so sleep that is indiscernible from the tracker. looks like he'll have...
the way he's been holding on by a thread for the past 10 days has been absolutely amazing. He will certainly have earned this record. Can't wait to see an interview with him after all of this is...
your best work yet!! Looks like we just may beat scott to 2189 after all!
looks like scott will have roughly 88 miles to go with 48 hours remaining (at 5:15pm edt) maybe another 15-20 miles tonight, another 6 hours of sleep then a final 63-68 hour continuous push? from...
And I believe those studies. but I think there are still plenty of people out there that don't and will automatically think of a record as softer if it is set by a woman.
I've thought about his decision to do the AT over the PCT as well. Living out west for so many years, and having no ties to the east coast that I am aware of the PCT would seem like a natural choice....
For the sake of excitement I'd love to see 10 hours of sleep followed by an attempt at a final 100 mile non-stop push to the summit (running, hiking crawling, slithering, whatever), but that would be...
As of 5:15 PM he has exactly 3 days to get the record and by my rough calculations he is 137 miles from big K. that's 45.6 miles per day. factoring in 12 hours of total sleep in the next 3 days ( 4...
looks like he's stopped for the night at west cary pond lean-to. 36.5 miles for the day. with 3.5 days left (presuming he starts hiking again at 5am) he's got 165 miles to go. his average needed...
