#heather ‘Anish’ is a big name in long distance if you happen to know rhat kinda thing

[blessphemy]

weirdly I saw an article about how a guy this year (2022) set the new self-supported (no trail/logistics support) PCT (2,653 mile) Thru-hike speed record at 55 days, 16 hours and 54 minutes

which is kinda weird cuz the last one was set in 2013 by Heather Anderson: 54 days, 7 hours and 48 minutes

Math connoisseurs will notice that Heather’s speed is shorter, actually

maybe they meant he beat the fastest male record (Scott Williamson, 2011: 64 days, 11 hours, 19 minutes)

but the post did seem pretty dramatic about the Fastest Ever thing
