Interesting. The booze doesn't bother me. I have no problem with that. But him littering?? That bothers me. He's a marathon runner. Have you ever seen the mess and litter after a marathon? These runners are pigs and discard everything along the route, even with strategically placed garbage cans along the way.
I think I read somewhere that he never stepped foot on the trail prior to his start. I can't see him being much of an ambassador for the AT Like what was said he was all about a notch in the belt and sponsorships. I think it's great he beat a record but it really seems to me in the end he could care less about the trail.
JPD on the other hand loves the trail and the hiking community. She's been and I think will continue to be a positive thing for hiking. This guy I don't think we will ever hear from again other than I'm sure advertisements and commercials using his record to hawk their products.
