Day 4: 
34.7 Miles
Edit this part written after FKT   
Since I was planning on the FKT dying I sent a text to a friend in the morning arranging a pickup on Friday night at Fontana Dam.  I also left camp after the sun had rose sleeping in until about 6 and leaving at 7, the lastest I woke up during the entire FKT.  

At some point 10 miles into the day was the first time I noticed that I had been wearing my underwear inside out for the past 4 days, which really just illustrates how locked into walking i was previously.  It really was the only time I had taken a break near water for the first 4 days and it gve me time to reflect on how not chill it actually was.

It sounds dumb, but honestly, I was not expecting the walking all day, waking up at 340 ish AM walking till 1030ish or later PM to be as tiring and yet starting on day 4 noticed how exhausted I would become the moment the sunset.  

I hiked shirtless for the first time ever because my back was starting to annoy me, it was ultimately unsuccessful, but a failed attempt at relief is better than nothing. 

At the end of the day I stumbled my way up a 5 mile climb only to camp on a road bed that said it was a campsite, but I couldn't find anywhere that was super campable.
