"I will be attempting the unsupported fkt on the TRT.  I plan to start at 7am, August 13th, 2012 in Tahoe City (start location may change) and will be using SPOT Tracker as my main verification.  I'll also bring a few cards with my info to hand out, if possible.  A full report will follow.
Thanks

  4. I'm going to show up when you have a half mile left, then pour a beer down your throat. Wouldn't that make it supported?

  5. Cards? Why are you handing out cards?

  6. Anon. It's a method to verify the validity of a FKT run. You give someone you see on the trail a card with your email on it and ask the person to email you and include where/when the person saw you.

  7. That makes more sense than my initial thought of "boy, this guy is dedicated, running 165 miles and handing out his business card to promote his company!"

  8. I'll be a little too busy staying awake, alive, and moving efficiently to worry about promoting much :-)

  9. So unsupported means you have to cut the liners out of your running shorts?

    You can get that FKT!

  10. Sounds like fun, we should start at the same time and race against one another for a little added motivation :)
    Whats the current unsupported record?

  11. This is the attempt with the other fellas, or on your own?

  12. Current unsupported fkt is 63:54 by Michael Popov, set last September. I'll be traveling lighter and plan on not sleeping, if possible. I'd be happy to start together, as long as we don't talk!

    Eric, it's alone. Can't have ANY support, physically or psychologically.
