Roughly an hour ago team Davis posted this blurb on Jennifer's blog:
After 46 days, 11 hours and 20 minutes Jen has finally finished the 2,181 mile trail. She reached the end at 3:26 p.m. today. Hard to express how proud of her we are. Pics and more stories from the trail to come soon.
The now previous overall Appalachian Trail speed record was 47 days, 13 hours and 31 minutes. That means Jennifer has shattered the record by 22 hours!!
This also means she averaged almost 47 miles per day!
Here's an official press release from her publisher.
Major kudos and congratulations!
Jeff
