TLDR
I can’t be the fastest, so maybe I can be the slowest.
I’m planning on being the person who takes the longest time to complete the Appalachian trail.
I have a fairly unique circumstance of my family having a weekend cabin effectively ON the AT. I walked my first few feet of the AT at age 2 in the Delaware Water Gap in New Jersey and spent lots of time on and around the trail as a toddler and young child. My plan is to complete the AT at age 80, giving me the hard-to-beat record of taking 78 years to complete the AT.
