FKT: Kara Olivito - Nipmuck Trail (CT) - 2024-04-14

I ran the trail north to south and chose the west branch as my finish line. I got a ride as close to the northern terminus as possible, and then hiked the remaining 2.25 miles into the actual start. That’s when I started my watch. The trail was very well marked and the only times I got turned around was because of flooding due to beaver activity. There was a lot of that! The weather was beautiful in the high 50s and I had a great time. I completed this unsupported by carrying everything I needed and filling my water bottles in the numerous rivers. Awesome day!
