NJ Woman Completes AT in 137 Days
NJ Woman started AT in January:http://www.nj.com/hunterdon-county-d...rt_river_index
There was RSS Feed on this article a couple of days ago. Still she now joins the Group W bench of thru-hikers.

She finished at Katahdin on June 10th and 14 other NOBO thru-hikers had already finished before her! It seems like the number of early birds is increasing at an even higher rate than overall thru-hiker numbers.

If she was in such a hurry why didn't she just drive there?
How long is it supposed to take?Originally Posted by TTT
I thought the plan was to start slow and then go slower. I'd better rethink this thing.
Lol!!!!!!!!!
I think the better plan is to hike the way you enjoy, which could be fast, slow, or some mix of speeds. Personally I like to hike as fast as I can, others do the opposite, but to each his or her own.
When I'm on my deathbed and my life flashes before my eyes, I want to enjoy every moment in slow motion.
I bet she can't pump gas.
What's that got to do with the price of teat in China?

Gas stations in NJ are all full service. You don't pump your own. Of course neither does my wife. ⭐️

Why is this a thing? 2200/137 = 16 mpd
No idea at all. I thought it was a rather modest pace, too.
that was good time for the early start - likely no extended run of tough weather conditions
IMO if you want a 4 1/2 month schedule (and do not much mind the heat) a May 1 start would give the lowest chance of weather delays
in a bad weather year for an early start 15 zero's / nero's is not unreasonable - so the average for hikeable days would be 18 mi - so maybe in the 90th percentile?
