This was my first thru-hike and FKT attempt so I gave myself less than a 50/50 shot.  After about 36 hours, I knew I had this. I battled record high temperatures, but cooled off in ponds and streams frequently while filtering water.  I did the attempt unsupported, so I carried 33,000 calories in my 24 pound pack at the start, with my pants falling down due to stuffing my pockets as well.
