The_Rooster Posted August 30, 2005 Posted August 30, 2005 Got verification? Cock a Doodle DO IT! Sic 'em, Dan! DISTANCE HIKING RECORDS FALL Next time you head out for a weekend jaunt on the Pacific Crest Trail or the Appalachian Trail, consider two speed records set this summer...and weep. David Horton, 55, from Lynchburg, Virginia, smashed the Pacific Crest Trail thru-hiking record by an amazing 16 days, finishing on his 67th day of running and hiking. Fully supported with a crew providing meals and supplies, Horton averaged about 40 miles a day on the 2,666-mile trail. To see a daily log of Horton's hike, visit http://www.montrail.com/assets/Misc%20Copy/horton_log.htm. Meanwhile, on the Eastern Seaboard, 29-year-old Andrew Thompson from New Hampshire shaved about a day off the record for hiking the 2,174-mile Appalachian Trail. On his third try at this record, Thompson completed the hike in 47 and a half days, averaging almost 46 miles a day with support from one teammate. His account is at www.inov-8.com/TrailDogNews.htm.
