Maybe Meatballs gave her a lift to the record:

Meatballs has her fingers in her ears and refuses to read ANY evidence supplied. Blindly believing her.

What? Kaiha is staying with a friend more than 1k miles away from me with a water soaked phone and I have been working 12 hour days at three different jobs, one of which has limited to no service. With all due respect you folks are falsely accusing us of ulterior motives in a way that is impatient, overwhelming and childish. If you think we care so much about cheating, lying, and stealing a title you clearly don't understand that both of us are just grateful to be alive and hugging someone everyday. Your perceptions are so far off kilter. You would be blessed to know a woman like Kaiha. Where were your shouts and cries of proverbial murder when she was in the wilderness for the last 45 days? Where were you when I was sleeping outside libraries just to get access to wifi so that we could post updates for the community to follow along with? Did you know Karl was sponsored by Hoka and Red Bull and on the day Kaiha left she didn't even have enough sneakers to complete this journey? Please. She is compiling her evidence package. May the hyenas take a rest for a moment we beg of you.
Markus Mueller
All the evidence Kaiha provided so far was enough to prove that she didn't walk/run the whole AT. "To have not enough sneakers to finish this journey" doesn't make it more convincing at all.
Bethany Patterson
Jenny Meatballs , people care now because she is claiming to have hiked faster than any person in history. It didn't matter when she was just hiking. You both should have had the details worked out before making the claim. It's interesting that she hiked in the rain for hours and hours, managed to get her final picture, and the. The phone died. Convenient. We are skeptical because (at least for now) the data doesn't seem to support her claim. We can always be proven wrong, but I doubt she can prove that she didn't yellow blaze sections or that you yourself didn't give her rides.
Jenny Meatballs
Markus Mueller Four pairs were donated during the journey. None of you have all the details so hold your horses. There will be adjudication. We're not asking for something unfair. If she had waited to make an announcement people may have even been more skeptical. She was and is excited. Please folks, calm yourselves we are adults.
Luke Carlson
Oh please - be quiet and go away. There is no way in the world this will be accepted as an official record. You sad stupid lying cheats.
Your ridiculous story has already been blown apart. You are just making yourself look more stupid every day
Jenny Meatballs
She made a public announcement of her intention to her Facebook page and website before her departure and I did to mine as well. Although I cannot speak for her, she made her announcement to the FKT board as soon as humanely possible while hiking when it was brought to her attention that she must do this which was around the same time she was informed she "should" be carrying a GPS even though it does not appear it is a strict or formal rule. She was already in the wilderness and using every last dollar for food and basic survival it was impossible to turn back at that time or even afford a GPS because there was absolutely no squandering of money we were both barely eating.
Bethany Patterson
Unfortunately it will be hard to convince people that she did it all without hard evidence. Pictures aren't enough. If she somehow magically pulled off the greatest fear of human endurance, she won't get official credit for it.
Luke Carlson
Jenny Meatballs Are you both totally dumb?
To have a record accepted its not just a case of declaring your intention then "putting it on facebook"
You need MANY things. For a start, a recognised history as an ultra or marathon runner. She has never done ANY race that we can see.
Then you get it tracked as well as carry GPS. You get time stamps, witnesses, etc.
Are you for real? You can get a GPS for $90 that will record 20 hours, then use a charger.
"Every last dollar", right - hence SCAMMING donations saying she was "raising money for charity".
"Barely eating"! She looks very well fed in her photos at the end! NO weight loss and chubby thighs!
The games up. Give up you lying skank
Jenny Meatballs
Bethany Patterson although I am personally not familiar with that part of the trail, Kaiha remains confident that she walked every inch of the trail. Unless and until she modifies or retracts that statement I am simply a messenger and my primary focus is the way this audience is treating her with scare tactics and primarily overtly abusive rather than optimistic or even kind hearted tepid skepticism. My second goal is patient scrutiny (you want evidence let us collect and present it) and fair adjudication (no stricter standards than previous record holders have been held to). To me this is what seems just.
Luke Carlson
Jenny Meatballs Then WISE UP and read the Let's Run thread, and READ the evidence you fool.
You are either IN on her scam or utterly thick and naive.
Now READ the thread i sent you, you goon

Luke Carlson Not everyone has the LUXURY of scrutinizing someone else's life for hours on end. I have responsibilities. I'm a grown ass woman who was helping make this project's website come to life nearly full time while also trying to work 3 other jobs.
