[pct-l] Slowest PCT Thru Hike -- sorry

[Ned Tibbits]

Excellent point, Gary! With all the talk of speed-hiking, how many miles I 
did in a day or how fast I was able to cover an entire route, it is good to 
hear the counterpoint. But then it depends on why you're out there in the 
first place...

Nathan,

Speed is not really that important when it comes to covering miles. A slow 
steady pace will take you a long way.
