Report
Ran an Occoneechee FKT, following the route used by Matt Kirk and Kevin Thompson. It was a very hot day, and I fell behind their splits early on. I thought I had lost a lot of time going up the Overlook trail (walking in parts), but realized that I actually slightly under time at the top, and managed to close hard. I agree with Matt's observation that the reverse route could be faster-- less technical downhill at the end.
Details on route: I ran around the fire tower, but at the elbow of the Overlook trail I did not do the short ~30m out-and-back to the viewpoint (I think this is consistent with other runs). Started and finished at the northwest entrance to the parking lot.
