This was my third attempt at the FKT! I tried this two other times previously, in June 2021, and made the mistake of taking the old Oats Trail as opposed to the new Oats Trail, which is the correct trail for this FKT. Finally made it back out here today and got it right, finishing in 2:25:11. I prefer to run minimally, so wore a vest, carried 500mL of water, two gels, and my phone for emergency. Lots of mountain bikers on Hazard today. I wouldn't change anything about this run, except perhaps having time to take photos on the top of Valencia where you could see the marine layer coating everything but the highest mountains in Montana de Oro. I had to wait for two horseback riders at the very, very end of the route which cost me maybe a minute or so.
