    AT - did you see this? Crazy time for self-supported AND he beat Meltzer's supported time.

     

    I keep looking for the "fake news" but he appears legit.

    My favorite day of the week is RUNday

        I saw that last week. I am pretty sure it is legit.

          I saw that last week. I am pretty sure it is legit.

           

          No doubt. He has some serious creds. Just surprised I never saw it on any AT sites since Anish's (unsupported), SJ's and KM's (supported) journeys were well covered. looks like he wanted to go incognito, an did.

           

          I read about him after he did the FKT on PCT.

            Took a quick peek at the thread over on Whiteblaze.net and I didn't see that there was any tracker data posted. I would think that he would want to do that considering how much he beat the previous times by.  Typically when something sounds too good to be true it typically is.   Now I'm not saying that he didn't legitimately do it but one has to wonder.

             

            The one thing in his favor is that he is much younger then the last two who did it at the tail end of their careers.
