There was a video on the internet for a long time of Jared Campbell doing this route very fast. I don't know how fast, but almost certainly faster than this. The video no longer seems to be available, at least to my search efforts. How does that work, if there's a suspected faster time out there? Does the burden fall on the website or the person claiming the FKT to look into it?

Almost certainly faster than this? Weird way to say that.
The burden falls on me always, but in this case, you as well. Jared’s famous and awesome video was documenting a 61:XX round trip, you can do the math now :)
