Day 6:41.2 MilesEdit: This Part wrote after FKT
This was the day I planned on really making some miles in the park.  I think the milage caught up to me as even though the miles were reletivly easy I struggled to make the 41 miles.  

For the first 2/3s of the day I walked the excellent lakeshore trail of the smokies which mostly followed old roadbeds and had minimal elevation because of that.  Yet during that i noticed my speed rarely got over 2.7 miles per hour and because of that even though I hiked all day i still arrived at camp around 11.  I did not reach my stretch goal and only actually made it to the shortest camp that i found acceptable.  

I mostly did that because like the previous 2 days, the moment the sun went down I felt like all my energy was sapped up and I almost took a cat nap in the dirt because I was so tired.  I don't know what the right choice would have been but making it to the Mill Creek camp felt like a win in the dark and I decided I wouldn't push it.
