In Whitehouse with friends for Independence Day and I want to attempt the unsupported FKT on the South Fork this morning.
Unsuccessful attempt. 2:44:14 for 18.9 miles per my Garmin watch. I backed off my attempt once I hit Andrew’s time. Started at Jerome Road and headed southwest.Trail was officially closed at Finzel Road and my reroute added a half mile. I also messed up at the 5B intersection near Liberty Center and headed south rather than continuing on the trail. That probably cost me a quarter mile with my backtrack to the trail. Even accounting for those two hiccups, the trail was probably closer to eighteen miles than the seventeen that you typically see listed.  Temperature was 70 when I started and 83 when I ended.  I think I will attempt this again sometime in the late fall or early spring.
Tip of the hat to Andrew! Nice FKT!
Heading out on the North Fork tomorrow morning to celebrate my birthday and "run my age" (40) with a bonus 10k on the end. Not necessarily targeting the FKT, but if the stars align...!
