Report
Julie and I set a first known time for women today. It was a very tough effort to me on this particular day, but not for her, and it can definitely go a lot faster.
I think it's important to note that there is a ridiculously fast male time on this route, established ten years ago and plainly visible on Strava. Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't athletes supposed to do at least a cursory look and not claim an FKT that they didn't earn? I see a lot of this and it kind of bothers me. It's not first come, first served. It's fastest known time, and a glance at a strava segment leaderboard takes all of ten seconds. Rant over.

Thanks for posting Sarah! It would be good to recognize times that are on these routes, even if they are achieved before being published routes on the fkt website.
This was a beautiful, ridgeline-ish route. Mostly runable. Great, shorter FKT incorporating the popular New England Trail. Can't wait to see how fast this gets.
We will accept any FKT submission with verification even if much earlier in time.
Preferably by the athlete themselves.
