Karl Meltzer
Wiki:
"As of 2/26/2015 Meltzer has won at the 100 mile distance 36 times, the all-time record. As of 3/7/10 he had 53 ultra wins in 105 starts."
Karl did not respond to questions about Kaiha. Why would he.
Clearly he's afraid. Guaranteed the guy's never free bled either. He would have won 128 of those 105 ultras if he wasn't so soft.
Karl is better off not addressing the debunked FKT claim, but since Kaiha Bertollini and Jenny Meatballs are sticking to it, let's move on...to estimating just how much of the AT Kaiha Bertollini actually may have hiked. Using some of her own info to create reasonable estimates for some unknowns, I get 53.7%. This assumes 2190 miles of actual AT, another 100 miles for resupply hikes, 30 miles per day, a total of three zero mileage days, 45.5 days total. Seem reasonable?
How many miles on acid?
LOL Won't speculate on that...but this analysis did include three zero days. How they may have been spent is her business. Tallying the tall tale telling is ours.
How many days free bleeding?
Has she given a date, for when she will release her "evidence"?
i think she has a year . isnt that what record holder before her took to show stuff?
Jenny Meatballs Carrington and Kaiha Bertollini are undoubtedly encountering the same problems skeptics found...no matter how you try to make it work, the math just doesn't.
Something tells me that math is something they have never done very well with.

Yeah, only two scam artists with no substantial knowledge of math and what it takes to earn an AT FKT would have made their claims in the first place. The hilarious variability in miles per day was a red flag.
Absolutely loved how on her fb page Meatballs dug herself a deeper hole by explaining that Kaiha was trained for FKT by just completing 2,000 miles of hiking. Meatballs wouldn't know what a taper is any more than Rosie Ruiz knew what intervals were:

No. When is the evidence due that she did not complete the route in record time?
The boredom of some message board trolls to try to disapprove what is a very impressive accomplishment can be astounding at times.
That's right. The evidence that she did not do what she did not dis-claim is not due before the time when she does not have to disprove what others did not evidence to disprove. She did. That.

Solid evidence has already been presented to prove she skipped a section of SNP. Once proven to cheat, all her other claims of unrealistic mileage fall apart.
Nothing impressive about a blatant lie and non-accomplishment.

From Hike For Our LIves FaceBook:
UPDATE: Thank you for your patience as Kaiha and I have gotten our bearings this past week or so. It is not easy to collect yourself emotionally when meeting your basic survival needs are still a daily struggle which is a truth for both of us right now. Partnering on this vision was truly a whirlwind - a beautiful, blessed, miraculous, grounded in raw truth whirlwind. So yes, we are emotional, and not afraid it. Life is about balance.
Now that the dust is starting to settle, we have found that many of the challenges we came up against while documenting A Hike for Our Lives have been more fruitful than even we anticipated and we are really excited to share a very strong evidence package for any and all who are interested. What we really want is that anything we present is as thorough as possible as well as digestible as possible. We want to invite anyone to see the truth who wants to know more about the Hike for Our Lives mission that may not be well-versed in the trail geography or other "in" hiking or ultra running language.
What we want you to know right now, tonight, since we know you are eager for more information, is that we absolutely hold ourselves accountable for truth! We even call each other out when something is up in our individual intuition because we are all humans! In this instance, the audience we are holding our truths accountable to is not just the FKT board. We are holding ourselves accountable to the many women and men who have come forward to share their stories with us, to our donors, and to the fellow hikers each of us met along our individual journeys. We feel personally responsible for sharing their enthusiasm for our mission as we aim to lift the veil of ignorance from our culture's eyes to the reality of rape culture and let the power of fitness and permaculture to heal PTSD really speak for itself through each of us. We hold ourselves accountable not only to our peers but to the children of the earth and our children's children who we want to be raised in a world of love, compassion, yoga, hiking, and locally sourced food!
But hey - you are right, Kaiha was going for a record! Although unaware of many of the nuances and intricacies of what "going for it" really meant until well into the hike when it was brought to her attention (which is also clearly documented), Kaiha did her personal best every single day out there, and so did I on my own journey. At this time, we are pleased to announce that we are extremely confident that Kaiha walked every step of the Appalachian trail on her SoBo record attempt; that not carrying a GPS does not disqualify her from setting any FKT; that hitchhiking does not automatically disqualify her from setting the self-supported record; and that hitchhiking with Billie Beartrap was not only truthful but that it was a truth she was not trying to hide from the public.
Another part of the facts that has come to light in this aftermath is that the hitchhike taken by Kaiha with Billie Beartrap did NOT originate in Swift Run Gap as he has suggested because we have hard evidence that Kaiha was already in the southern portion of Shenandoah National Park during the time frame this claim was made. Conversely, to us it is clear that there is a community of folks who is determined to undermine the validity of this hike and that there is a lot more doubt and hatred in the world to overcome than we had realized. Fortunately, we know how to stand up to bullies of all kinds, arm in arm.
Due to our inability to respond directly to every single inquiry on every single public page and forum, we will release this hard evidence only when her entire package is complete in order to ensure that everyone who is interested can fully absorb the details of her hike at large before addressing her with any further questions. She will not be taking any interviews until her package is released. We look forward to sharing, and we thank you all who have demonstrated a responsible community social media ethic in your anxious anticipation of adjudication!
In solidarity & empowerment, Jenny Meatballs

Will there be any meatballs in that package?
Ms. Meatballs is trying to pour warm and fuzzy honey over a stinking turd. Good thing they will set things straight that that cis-hetero white patriarchal male ride provider got so, so very wrong!

Why not just enter one of the 100 mile races coming up.
Preferably one that has good competition.
