Speed Goat

That’s what they call Karl Meltzer, an ultra-runner who yesterday began his quest to break the Appalachian Trail speed record. He started at Mt. Katahdin in Maine and he’ll run to Springer Mountain in Georgia. The current record of 47 days, 13 hours and 13 minutes is held by Andrew Thompson (thankfully, not yours truly) of Vermont.
Click here to follow Meltzer’s progress. If he makes it this far, he should be coming through Virginia in about 22-25 days. Crazy.
