I’m going for it again!
After breaking my foot 4,800 miles into the loop last year, I’m starting on April 19th from Nothing, Arizona and redoing the entire hike that has basically consumed my life since I first decided to do it over 3 years ago.
Everything has been updated for speed. Better pack, 5 day food carries, and all the same pairs of shoes (I have 13).
It’s another dry year out west and the forest fires are going to start early. I worked hard all winter in preparation for this and I’m more confident in my abilities now. My overall mile average per day was 33.6 and I’m confident I can get up to 35 as long as I can stay healthy.
I have incredible sponsors behind me, Taco Comfort Solutions, Nashville Pack, Eastern Mountain Sports, Darn Tough Vermont and Ransome Multimedia. With their help and the support of my friends and family, I know I can get this done!
