FKT: Ashley Goodman - Tanawha Marathon (Double Traverse) North-South-North - 2023-02-26

This was a fully unsupported FKT.  I ran alone, carried all my food, filtered water from the streams, and didn't see anyone until the Beacon Heights turnaround.  This was a much better time of year to do an unsupported attempt of this course.  The weather was good, the trails were yellowjacket nest free, no overgrowth, fewer hikers, and the rocks were dry-ish at the southern end.  I accomplished my goal of finishing around 6:30 and shaving 30-ish minutes off my self-supported time.  Given the narly roots, rocks, and boulders on this course, this went as well as it could for me - a true best effort.
