Description
Nobody can do the big thru-hikes like Heather Anderson - she once held the Self-Supported Overall (not Female) FKT’s for the PCT, AT, and Arizona Trail - simultaneously. On November 8 she became the 5th person and 1st woman to do the Calendar Triple Crown - the Pacific Crest Trail, Appalachian Trail, and Continental Divide Trails in the same year - and the first Female to do the Triple Triple Crown - all three big trails, three times.
"My mom still remembers the day, 15 years ago, when I ran down the stairs yelling, 'I’m going to do this!'"
On March 1, 2018, her first book, "Thirst, 2600 miles to home" will be published, and is available for download now. Her TED Talk from 2015 is very good.
Heather articulates how she approached this hike differently:
"My goal was basically to do these trails exactly how I wanted to do them at any given point in time. It was good, it was refreshing ... I wanted this to unfold; an area of growth for me. You can't ever go wrong on a long journey; you're always going to come out the other side, with new insights."
