Hi, I am very very new to speed hiking, and to the AT. I am short on time, which is the No.1 reason I am considering a fast hike. I have done a few triathlons and marathons, so I hope I will be capable of doing it with a fast speed. My question is: if you finish it in such a fast speed, wouldn't you miss a lot of scenery and nice people? I am debating whether I should do it with a fast speed or wait out till I have a longer vacation, let's say 6 months? You advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for reading.
