Article Summary:
When Jason Goldman* (*names have been changed to protect the identity of these individuals) completed a thru-hike of the Pacific Crest Trail in less than 100 days, not too many people paid attention: it had been hiked faster by others. But this was Jason's third thru-hike of the PCT. His previous two were completed in 183 and 174 days, respectively. So when he published his report of a three-month thru-hike, we sent Jason congratulations on a job well done. We simply assumed that he'd lightened his gear, refined his technique, and improved his fitness. And then we forgot about it.
