MW85, just go for it ...but only if you want it. Personal bests and personal challenges are good. This discussion prompted someone to write me to say their personal best RT time on the Whitney Main Trail is ...Under 4 hours! But they don't want their time or name made public! (Please, no guesses either.)

I say MW85 and Tracy can define their time frame. 24 hours starting at any hour is good enough for me. ...but I suppose they would technically need TWO day hike permits if they started up the trail on #3 on the morning of the second "day". Hmmmm... maybe an overnight permit would do, since they will be out through the night.
