And what about "Anish," who crossed US2 (Stevens Pass) Saturday night and is expected to reach the Canadian border probably tomorrow? (Or she may already be there!) She has been doing quite a few 50 mile days, although she has slowed a bit on northern Washington's rougher terrain. Unlike the Whole Foods guy, she's doing it without support except the usual trail angel stuff (although a lot of would-be trail angels have managed to miss her, she's so speedy). Portlandhikers.org has a long thread about her on their forum starting here.

I'm not a fan of dashing through such beautiful scenery in such a big hurry, but YMMV, HYOH and all that. As long as they don't try to shove me off the trail to get by, which has happened to me a time or two with trail runners....
