Report

Finally got round to adding this FKT. 

Set out on a warm morning to follow this varied and very scenic route. It was difficult to stay hydrated and this trip wouldn't have been possible if it hadn't been for the supermarkets on the way, making this attempt qualify as a self supported FKT. I didn't have anybody accompanying me for the entire run.

(Off the record: I wish to also point out that the current FKT holder Jasper has made use of the same supermarket facilities on the way as I have done, clearly to see on his Strava, and should therefore be moved to the self supported category as well instead of in the unsupported where he currently is.)

Comments

Hello Peter

First of all congratulations on achieving the trail in a record time. But I can assure you there is no mistake about the category that my own attempt was in. During which I did not make use of any supermarkt or any other outside methode. I just started out with a very heavy runningvest with a big waterblater and lots of food. If you would like some tips on how do unsupported runs I would be glad to give them. It's not that hard if you are well prepared. I would ask you to refrain from casting doubt on other people's achievements, just because you don't think it is possible.

Best regards,

Jasper
