Day 3: 36 Miles
Edit: This part written after the FKT 

This is the day it started moving south.  The stretch every couple of miles progressed to stretch every 1/2 mile at around mile 20 when my knee was dying.  It was so tight and every downhill hurt so bad and during a river walk, which should have been the easiest part it was causing me alot of problems.  

The only thing that really kept me going was the fact that looking at the elevation, most of the terrible elevation seemed to be behind me after the first two days.  From here on out it seemed like there were significant stretches of flat on each day and if by some act of god, I could hang on I figured I might be able to get the record.  

The knee pain caused me to sleep before the sun went down for the first time all trail and I laied down at around 730 at the top of a hill right next to the river, once again calling home and relaying how the circumstances had become dire.
