I first hit the pemi loop ccw followed by the presidential range ccw. It was nice to save the last 18 miles on the road back to the car. Overall, it was nice to have revenge on this loop as I bailed on my 2023 attempt due to bad weather. I started on saturday at about 12:30pm and it rained pretty consistently until about 4am on sunday. It was windy, wet, and cold, but pushing through made for a beautiful sunrise as I was going northbound on the presi. I ate 4 peanut butter and Nutella bagels, a lot of candy, and drank 11 liters of electrolytes. I filled up with water at any river crossing I came across. I lost my appetite and didnt eat after mile 48. Overall, my goal was sub 24 hours but I knew that was going to be tough once I got to mile 27 at Lincoln woods trailhead. I hope to see more people attempt this route to break sub 24 hours.
