| I recently completed a speed hike of the Georgia section of the Appalachian Trail in just over 22 hours. So I thought I'd see how quickly I could cover the Foothills Trail.
I decided to hike from Table Rock to Oconee in order to hit the tougher climbs first and cruise the last half of the trail. Sherpa dropped me off at Table Rock State Park, where I would begin the trail. He then drove over to Oconee, where he would camp for the night and wait for me to finish the trail. My pack weight was somewhere around 23-24 pounds for this trip. The weather was awesome, cool temperatures and clear skies. I had decided to log my times throughout each section. I used the FTC Guide To The Foothills Trail for determing the beginning and end of each section. In lieu of mundane details of this trip, I will instead list each section and time it took to complete each one. I started the trail at 9:00AM on Saturday and finished at 7:40AM on Sunday.
