I am planning a northbound, solo thru-hike of the Appalachian Trail this year, starting at Springer Mt on April 15, 2015.

I also am trying swim over 1,000 miles this year.

Does anyone know if this has ever been before? In other words, has anyone thru-hiked the AT while swimming over 1,000 miles in the same year?

I would like to become the first person to do this.

Thank you.
