This felt a bit more hard-earned than the PA FKT. Probably because I wasn't 100% recovered. But I'm really proud of pulling off two very challenging and different FKTs within 3 weeks.
Got extremely heatsick from Thornton Gap to Elkwallow, but I finally got cold water and forced myself to run the rest of the way despite my quads being thrashed.
Highlights:
I saw a bobcat (5 feet away)
Drank maggot water (always check the pipe before deciding whether to filter a spring, kids)
Met a guy dragging a garbage bag of God knows what down the trail at midnight. (My fastest mile split)
Had an altercation with a bear over who had the right of way on the trail. (I won)
I followed the unsupported rules laid out on this site including carrying everything start to finish.
