That's Scott Williamson and I'm no Scott Williamson, nor do I want to be. 
 
"Average daily mileage for entire duration-27.8
Typically full day  miledge-35-42"
 
If you or anyone else wants to start May 22nd and hike 30-40 miles per day  
knock yourself out!  Sorry but I prefer a slower pace....

In 2006,  someone started from the Mexican border nobo for Canada on May 
22...  If  that person had first asked the list for 'friendly' advice, the 
responses  mostly would have been "it will be too hot", "there won't be enough water" 
or  "the caches will be empty", a few "you'd have to be crazy", and "you're  
starting too late, you won't make it to Canada in time" remarks...  That  
person made it through the "hot" desert, did not rely on the water caches -  
instead going off trail at times to known sources...  A 'late' start -  was there 
time to get to Canada?  Yes, and on November 28, 2006, he  touched the PCT 
monument at the border - the Mexican border...  Scott  Williamson completed his 
second PCT yo yo...  Scott says/insists he is  not really a 'fast' hiker, but he 
does hike many hours each  day
