Do any Hikers here hold the tipple crown?

Only done parts of PCT but really want to do CDT

I have done a small part of the AT, it is not hiking, but mostly up and down.

Not me. I enjoy hiking and I enjoy doing really hard shite but the challenge of doing the entire PCT or AT has never interested me all that much.
First I am hearing these three referred to as the triple crown but I would have assumed that a Grand Canyon rim-rim or rim-rim-rim would have been on a Mt Rushmore of hiking too.

I think these are the triple crown because they all traverse the entirety of the country north/south (although AT doesn't include Florida for whatever reason), which GC doesn't. Rim to Rim can also be done in 1 day (if you're a badass) or two days if you're a "regular" hiker.
One of my good friends fast hiked the PCT. I can't remember how long it took him, but he was crazy into the light gear to the point that he sewed half of his kit himself.
Anyone following that girl who is doing the PCT currently? Hiking solo, posting constantly, wears lot of makeup and "influencer" style fitness outfits. I really hope she makes it safely, but she's sort of asking for trouble. Also completely grossed out by how people comment in response to her posts. She posted about staying in a hut one night and dudes were all like "Baby, I'd like to be there... I'd make sure you feel real good." and shite like that. Like... really?

Doing all three of those in full is not "hiking". It's taking a sabbatical from normal life - or a more physically active form of being a bum. I love taking the occasional break from the rat race to go hiking or camping but I'm not diving that deep into the pool.

I guess I will break my lurking status.
09 PCT NOBO
10 AT SOBO
11 CDT Flop
Each one took 5 months to complete, and that included about a months worth of zero days on each one.

There are a few hikers who seem to get caught up in the “celebrity” status of posting about their AT thru hikes and turn right around after finishing and head back in the opposite direction. Some thru hike it in consecutive years. One guy named Hawk seems to be making a career out of hiking the AT.
Some of the popular hikers finish one of the trails and then knock out the other two in the following years but then they have a “now what?” problem. They hike some of the other popular trails like the Florida Trail or the AZ trail but it’s just not as compelling.
The AT looks fun. The desert portions of the CDT and PCT look miserable to me.

Just hiked .3 miles on the AT with my kids last week.
