This went well! I had an fkt attempt as a goal for this year, hoped this month, and on the last day conditions looked good so I gave the counterclockwise a good effort. Creeks were dry but rocks still slightly slipperier.
After the recent unsupported update I wasn’t sure how it would go; but I had been on millennium a few other times this year so felt good about not getting as lost. I was surprised to find some trees cleared which was better than the trail had been last few times. The morning was cool enough but a little warm at the end, I started at 8:45 and ended at 11:14.
I tried counterclockwise seeing that others had done it more so and last few miles looked more encouraging. I think this might be my first loop in that direction so was curious how reverse would be navigating and no problems luckily. I ran with fanny sling to store snacks, extra bottle and held second handheld. I packed lifestraw squeeze bottle just in case but did not need to use it.
