Nice to have a section to discuss speed hiking / fast packing / FKT attempts.
I hope to read more thoughts, techniques and race or speed hiking reports.

Came across this article about FKTs in general, and Peter Bakwin and his role because of the website in the New York Times.

+1 — pretty cool to read about it in the NYT. It really is an interesting story, too.
