Congratulations

Jennifer Davis. Fastest thru-hike of the Appalachian Trail by a woman.

Saturday afternoon, she smashed the previous women’s record for an assisted through hike of the Appalachian Trail, and she sprinted to the finish line. In the final week of her trek she covered 300 miles — about a third of it running — while averaging less than four hours of sleep a night. She completed the 2,175-mile trail in 57 days, 8 hours and 35 minutes — 30 days faster than any other woman.

“There are only four men that have hiked it faster,” said Davis, 25, the daughter of Yorke and Barbara Pharr.[...]

Friday, her second to last day on the trail, Davis hiked 64.8 miles — an unprecedented distance to cover during a through-hike of the Appalachian Trail.

Wow. Way to go Jennifer!
