Oregon Coast Trail FKT: Bullards to Humbug Mountain
In August of 2024 I attempted to set the first Fastest Known Time (FKT) of an unsupported woman on the Oregon Coast Trail. While this would be my first ever speed record attempt, it was a somewhat casual endeavor in the sense that there was no current record for unsupported so I just needed to go at a pace I could manage from beginning to end. That said, if I needed to seek external support for gear, food, etc, starting out unsupported would afford me the opportunity to pivot and transition into setting a new self supported women’s FKT, which has been held by Lucia Powell since 2018 with a time of just over 13 days. Outside of thru hiking, I have zero background in endurance sports so I’m not quite sure what business I had trying to see if I had it in me to break into the FKT community, nevertheless in the pursuit of an unsupported attempt, but I’ve experienced a building, persistent attraction since learning about this type 2 (type 3?) fun. Part of it is definitely the women who’ve come before me: the Ashly Winchesters, the Ivey Smiths, the Tara Dowers, the Liz Derstines, the Nika Meyers, of course the Jennifer Pharr Davises and Heather Andersons, and many others. Their wild undertakings have stoked a fire and inspired me to test my determination, grit and strength by pushing beyond my comfort zone in my favorite style, traveling solo. These women have shown me that you are enough and so much more capable than you give yourself credit for, all of which can be discovered in the pursuit of a challenge like an FKT. As they say, you’ll never know if you never try.
I’m still partnered up with ​⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠ ​⁠@HyperliteMountainGear as an ambassador so if you want to take advantage of 15% off your order, use “BECCA15” at checkout! They have a lot of great new gear, like the Unbound 40L pack I brought on the AT and OCT, and also the Aero, their newly released 28L fast pack for those who want to go further and lighter.

    Oh neat, we were on the OCT at the same time! Really curious to see how you managed with all the logistics. I stopped at the hiker camp first day and thought 23 miles on day one was pretty good, so it's wild to me you did 40 miles with those two mountains in the way.

      Right? It’s good for her to play it safe, especially if a high river would cauae the FKT attempt to fail. But dang, that section is so gorgeous. Floras lake, blacklock, the old growth driftwood walls on these beaches, the rivers, the pelicans, the lighthouses, … oh well. It makes a grest section hike so I guess she could always come back and just do that part.

    Nice video. Did you notice the RVs at 03:00? That is why you never buy an RV, only rent. They are poorly constructed. A conversion van is nice and can be good enough. It sounds like you need more vitamins and minerals. I have to take potassium and magnesium or I will get leg cramps at night. Magnesium is supposed to help reduce pains too. Happy Trails. Good Luck, Rick

    Question on logistics: how do ferry/boat rides across bays factor into this? With some, you can't really know ahead of time if a ride will be available. Do you take them if they're available, or always do the road walk alternatives, or what? It's kind of a weird situation since both alternatives are considered part of the official route. EDIT: disregard, I saw the note about this issue in your 2nd video =)
