I just got this from the Ultra running list. Here's a quick COMPLETELY SELF SUPPORTED hike of the BMT.

"Matt Kirk is the man. 48+ mi/day self supported on very rugged trails,

288 miles in 5 days 23 hours 16 minutes 0 seconds

only in ultrarunning do we get to write records as 5:23:16:00.0 (yes my
watch was that accurate!!! not really, but the seconds are accurate)

his last 24 hours included a 1 hour nap and over 70 miles!

more details on
runthebmt.wikispaces.com
pictures, etc will be added soon.

Here's to Matt, and good luck to all the other awesome runners out there
looking for adventure this summer."

Good on them!

Looking on their website, I found this VERY useful link:
