I saw the news from earlier this month that a 47 year old woman, Sheryl Wheeler, set the speed record for the 114 mile Northville Placid trail doing it in just over 35 hours.

That's nothing! I managed to spend 9 days on it when I did it.

Pretty cool feat really. There are many ways to enjoy backpacking trails:

She was going so fast, the distance compressed.

I guess I stole them from her - subtracting a road walk twice.

Apparently she did the road walk, but that wasn't counted in the record time.
