I am planning on doing the CDT in the summer of 2008. I am a ultra runner who lives in Lynchburg, VA. I have previously set the speed record on the Long Trail, AT, and PCT. I plan on starting the CDT around June 5-10, 2008 at the Mexican border. I know that Squeaky set the record of 75 days in 2005 unsupported. I plan on doing it supported somewhere around 65 days, plus or minus 5 days, depending on the length of the trail.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p></div> <div class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></div> <div
