Have been eyeing this FKT for a while now ever since a friend showed me the route last year, and decided I was fit enough to go for it today. Soaked my hat in water, took two gels with me and then just hammered it. Once I was reaching the top I was pretty sure I would be able to comfortably take the FKT, but then started pushing to snag the crown on the Strava segment for "Tobacco Row UP". On the way down I felt a lot better than I thought I would and was able to just cruise down at around a 4:52/mile pace and then figured I would be able to snag the crown for "Tobacco Row DOWN" as well. Heel on my left foot was burning from the friction but kept pushing (later found out I had a massive blister). Overall, great run and thrilled to have been able to get the FKT!
