You’re in for a treat this week with not one but two AT record holders! Fresh off her Pinhoti Trail self-supported record, Liz “Mercury” Derstine sits down with host Heather “Anish” Anderson to talk all things record-breaking on the east coast. Liz delves into why she was more intimidated by the 348-mile Pinhoti Trail through Alabama and Georgia than by embarking on the entire Appalachian Trail. She dishes out the challenges she faced on the Pinhoti Trail, and how she managed to surmount them to break Katherine Baird’s self-supported record by three days.

Mt. Ena
Mt. Ena is located at the southernmost tip of the Chuo Alps on the border of Nagano and Gifu prefectures, standing at 2,191 meters. It's also one of Japan's 100 Famous Mountains, the Nihon Hyaku Meizan. It's said that when Emperor Tensho was born, his afterbirth (placenta) was offered to this mountain, thus getting the name Mt Ena. The kanji characters are different, but ena means afterbirth in Japanese. The trees from this mountain are also held sacred and used for the making of paper streamers used in the Grand Shrines of Ise, the most important Shinto shrine in all of Japan.
