Awesome day on the BRT. Near perfect conditions, except for being a bit sloppy and very wet in the first and last 6-8 miles.   32 degrees at the start with dense fog for several hours.  Temps slowly increased to mid 60s, I believe.  I went out to push the pace.  A little more than half way through, after the big climbs were past, I realized I was on pace for the overall FKT, so I went for it.  I got mixed up in a few places but nothing major.   I really like this trail.  Many spots are as technical as Superior.  Lots of ridgeline running with beautiful views and then it drops into ravines with rushing water (lots of rain the week prior).  If you're going to do part of the trail, skip the beginning and end.

My moving time is much lower than elapsed time probably because my watch kept restarting the last 5 miles, but the data is intact. I also have the last 5 miles recorded by strava/phone in a separate file as backup.

FKT - pending verification.
