I think the OP was putting words in their mouth. He's not going after Mike's record at all.
"Rather than setting out with the goal of breaking the late Mike Hall’s longstanding 2016 record of 13 days, 22 hours, and 51 minutes, Lachlan is imposing a rule of resting for 12 hours in every 48-hour stretch, a ratio that he hopes will allow him to push through certain sections to reach hotels and campsites for more restorative sleep."
Ah, you mean the FKT marker is Mike's record? If they're doing the US route, shouldn't the market be Jay Petervary's? Didn't he set that? I've not had enough coffees to deal with all their routes.
