Frustrating Day on the Sheltowee Trace and the Blue Heron Loop
Two weeks after my failed Supported FKT attempt on the Sheltowee Trace I decided to give it another go but with no crew to help me I had to go Self Supported. Knowing that I may have to deal with cold, wet weather I knew there was a chance that I may fail so I did not announce this attempt to anyone other than my wife and three fellows in Kentucky and Tennessee that would transport me back to my truck upon completing the trail.
To go self supported I would not have any crew or aid. I decided to put out a drop bag of resupplies for each night to help lighten my load and enable me to run more. It was a good plan and I was super excited to give it another go to see if I could get the overall and break the 7 day barrier and reclaim my FKT from Ricky Vandegrift that was beaten by only two hours back in 2020.
