I've been looking for a current LT unassisted speed record but have yet to find a post that has been updated within the past two years (the best i've found is this, last updated 2010 http://fastestknowntime.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=northeast&action=display&thread=1) are these records still current? or has someone broken it?

Nikki Kimball (http://www.neverstopexploring.com/blog/2012/08/nikki-kimball-completes-vermonts-historic-273-mile-long-trail-in-record-time.html)seems to have just set the women's unassisted record on August 20, 2012 with a time of 5 days, 7 hours and 42 minutes.

Extreme Ultrarunning shows David Horton (http://www.extremeultrarunning.com/ltarticl.htm)owning the men's assisted record, from 1999, with a time of 4 days, 22 hours and 54 minutes.

Not sure how they can say Nikki's record is the assisted and unassisted.. she was definitely assisted since she had support the entire way. badass.. just not unsupported.
