This one's all about my recent unsupported, fastest known time on Maine's 100 Mile wilderness.

Before we get started, though, I've got to tell you about the makers of my favorite trail running apparel, Rabbit.

This past few weeks, I've been rocking their switchback tee in five-inch shredder shorts on runs,

and my neighbor even commented on how much swag I had. So if you want your neighbor to

potentially say the same thing about your clothing style, perhaps head over to Rabbit's website,

buy some gear, and in the process, use code single track 20 for 20% off your next order. With that,

let's get on to the show. All right, in this episode, we are recapping my unsupported, fastest known time on the

100-mile wilderness section of Maine's Appalachian Trail. And the process will talk about

the history of the route, the allure of the route, my background on it, where it fits in the

context of the local, regional and national FKT scenes,

the gear I used, how the days plural played out, what I would do differently, what I learned,

whether I'd do it again, all that kind of stuff to help me through all of this material

and also to recount and shed light on his own experience.

I'm joined by Xander Kiter, who has the supported and fastest overall time on this route,

nearly breaking the 24-hour barrier back in June.

Zander similarly has a lot of enthusiasm for and knowledge about this route.

So I think this is going to be really fun.

Before we dive into it, Zander, what did I miss that's relevant about your background?

Yeah, my background.

I'm from Southern Maine.

I grew up hiking in the 100 Mile Wilderness, the White Mountains in New Hampshire and

and back to the State Park.
