Speed running the Appalachian trail seems like missing the point to me. You’re supposed to be taking in the history and the environment as you hike.

I'll admit that I dont understand the now long running deal with speed running things like this, but if done safely and respectfully, I also dont see the harm. What is important is impact to the resource, and that is the main issue. That transcends folks like this. If she can pass that ethic along with this record, I'm for it.
