Had to quit my thru hike :/
(hexbear.net)
I made it 546 kilometres in 19 days, with ~350 left to go. Idk if my water filter failed or there was a hygiene slipup, but I woke up Thursday feeling super fatigued and that quickly slipped into beaver fever symptoms (or some kind of infection/parasite).
Now I've spent the last few days recovering on the couch and picking up reading again. Still feels like a big achievement, but I had a bit of a short time window to finish the trail. Now I'll probably be too busy for the rest of the warmer season and have to wait until next year. 
Congrats for getting as far, and as fast, as you did.
Is that sort of pace now forced upon you by climate change, or is it possible to start earlier and get north enough before it gets too hot? Say in 2 years.
The pace was forced on me by the rest of my summer and fall being busy af, as well as difficult logistics on spots to stay (the trail I was doing has few official camping spots and they are far between). If I dedicate more time to it next year I could go quite a bit slower but I'll just miss out on all the other shit I wanna do in life, especially in the warm weather.
