headed down to killington to try and catch John Kelly as he runs from Georgia to Maine along the Appalachian Trail. Got to route four while he was still 10+ miles out from the trailhead so decided to try and catch him on trail. Packed up the two pints of Ben and Jerrys Ice cream wrapped in two towels with two bags of ice. plus a few slices of pizza, nerds gummy clusters and water. about 3 1/2 miles in I saw a headlamp and shortly after that I saw john charging down the trail with the pacer shortly behind him without a headlamp. Offered them everything I had they quickly snack before continuing on. I joined them in the run down killington. pacer slipped and whacked me pretty hard with his trekking poles, drew a little bit of blood. When we got to the road crossing they ended up needing a pacer for the next 5 1/2 mile section so I happily jumped in filled my pack up with some snacks and water for him. we quickly took off down the trail and before long we were at Maine junction of the long trail/Appalachian trail. was super cool to be ripping on the Long trail with the second fastest LT FKT holder. John is a beast, absolutely crushed this section like he wasnt 1,700 miles in!! ran anything that was even remotely run-able, including slight up hills. hoping to be able to get back out with him after the wedding this weekend.
