Oregon Coast Trail FKT: Tillamook River to Neskowin
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 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 know, I know. This update is long overdue, but when I give the rundown of why I ghosted, I hope you’ll understand why I needed to step away. If you’ve watched any of my other trail videos then you know that grief is a constant theme of my hikes and my time on the Appalachian Trail did not spare me any heartbreak whatsoever. My videos are uploaded with a delay and I had them scheduled to post ...

    Ahh. The Oregon coast is a beautiful place to be, with the heat wave coming. Cape Lookout has lots of working water faucets and the “north trail” was recently reopened, after repairs from last winters “wind event”. Hope you enjoy my favorite suspension bridge. The crews did a wonderful job, fixing it also. I’m just a day hiker, now, but I’ll be checking out the “south trail” tomorrow. There are lots of Blackberries and Salal berries are in season also. Enjoy your hike ! PS. The best showers are in the CG on the east half of C loop. Separate & private.

    You’re back in Oregon again! Very cool. I’ve only got one small section left in my OCT hike( section hikes). I carried a small, wide mouth Gatorade type bottle because most of the water sources are restroom sinks. Our parks department seems to have given up on drinking fountains 😒 Hope you had a great hike.

    Dang Becca that stretch the trail was definitely full of obstacles. Are ticks a problem in that area? Back here in the southeastern mid Atlantic region they are steadily getting worse every year now. I'm thankful you didn't get hurt in the jungle there. So good to see you posting again too. Take care, keep safe and see ya next time😊
