What Garmin is she using? Assumed it was a Garmin inReach GPS satellite phone/nav but is it a watch instead?
I do not know. I used the name Not Inreach to indicate the Strava did not seem to be the source of the Strava data. Sorry for the confusion.
Hmmmm: ... to indicate the Inreach did not seem to be the source of the Strava data. Sorry for the confusion.
Sandy continues to post photos of her running throughout the day.
Mimi has not posted anything similar. Just those microvideos that are taken close to the support vehicles.
Can someone give me a cliiff notes version of what's going on. I had no idea these runs were going on until yesterday.
What pace are the two women on?
Anything exciting happened?
What are their backgrounds?
Are there any doubts as to the legitimacy of these runs?

Sandra is legit.
Mimi fake name is shady.
Tracker turned off and lied about, then her team blamed the owner of the tracker company and lied. (new tracker now)
No-one saw her on the route for weeks.
Photos and video rare.
She asked people to run with her then when one showed up in a vehicle had him arrested. (though this likely a lie and there was no vehicle)
Lied this follower was from LRC, but no-one here has posted about going to follow her.
Her fans over on URC are relentless. She is like the queen and none of them will hear anything said about her lack of tracker and shady goings on.
They come on here and troll, but if we join their group they ban us and say we are fakes.
They keep going on how she's the best runner in the world ever, therefore we must all believe she is doing this legit and we are forbidden to doubt her.
She's done some good races, but many can't be verified, like the doubles she claims.
Very boastful and always telling us how beautiful and marvelous she is.
Basically an attention seeking stunt runner who believes she's so awesome she must be believed and evidence doesn't matter.
Some weird data on Strava. Often long delays uploading it
Mimi more experienced than Sandra.
Sandra's route 300 miles longer so expecting Mimi to finish first, though her damaged knee (previous surgery) is shot and she's a lot older than Sandra.
Both women are on pace to absolutely shatter the prior transcon record of 63.5 days unofficial WR, and 68 days Guinness WR. Mimi Anderson is taking the shorter route. Sandy Vi (Villines) is taking the longer road(s).
Mimi Anderson is on pace to be #3 all time, male or female, and is coming off major knee surgery, therefore the disbelief she can do that. She is averaging 58 miles per day and sub 50 days to complete the event. Mimi is 55 and coming off major knee surgery therefore the disbelief she can do what she has posted so far. She has a long list of accomplishments in ultras but is seems you have to take her word that she did them.
Sandy Vi is averaging 54 miles per day and is on track to finish in 56 days. She is more of a novice but she caught the attention of people for her ability to run, run, run. Pete Kostelnick, the current transcon, is her run advisor.
In terms of data to prove the run, Sandy's is superior to Mimi's. SHe can thank Pete for creating what has been called the Gold Standard for multiday running events where it is difficult to find witnesses.
Here are several links for you. A summary of what both runners are doing. And ESPN story from Thursday. And realtime Garmin routes for each runner. Running is not actually what they are doing. It is more of a slow jog that minimizes leg lift to reduce stress on the legs. Almost walking but faster (3.5-4 mph).

Rojo: Can you change the title of this thread to one more descriptive that note women are on pace to beat the prior record by more than a week! Something like: Sandy Vi and Mimi Anderson are running across American and are on pace to shatter the absolutely existing record!
Of course, neither might finish the event. But a race is on that will last over 7 weeks.
PS: A poster named Markus (Markus Muller) has an excellent graphic chart that summarizes the daily miles for both women, and include Pete K's result as well.
I have followed from day 1 and read the entire thread and these summaries are thorough and fair.

Hmmm .... sorry about the prior post using summing ups handle. I forgot the name I used and though his post was mine.
Yes, there is also a lot of controversy mainly due to Mimi's spotty data collection, and her team is very defensive about it. But note that Sandy is using Pete's Gold Standard and her data is relatively drama-free. Mimi's data has multiple dramas per day. They are two entirely different people.
Sandy will gladly chat with you. Mimi, you likely have get clearance from her overly protective husband. Since your with the evil LRC I would expect Mimi will refuse to speak with you.
You're using big words I don't understand

Rojo, all you need to know is that 'Marvelous Mimi' (as she calls herself, and fake name by the way) is just that, MARVELOUS, and we can expect great things.
Oh yeah, nearly forgot, there has been some shady stuff going on, we don't know if she's been cheating or it's down to her and her incompetent support team (which is quite large and, it seems, dysfunctional) and her husband (an ex military intelligence officer, which in this stunt run is an oxymoron when applied to him).
It's the timing and recording of it that's been the problem, they thought they'd got around that when they blamed Race Drone for the problems and threw Race Drone under the bus, that was until the company owner came on to LetsRun and absolutely put them to shame with a rebuttal, great response, someone will post a link. They're now using Garmin.
Sandra Vi is ligit and above board, the LetsRun sleuths, trolls and truth seekers have confirmed it so you can be 100% sure about that.
Why not report the fake names to facebook? Get them facebook-arrested lol
you are using all these words and saying nothing.
good question
check your facts
aw, you're u has little eyes
does it? Or does it prove that they don't want people being weird and driving dangerously.
and also check for connections to the illuminati

What pace are the two women on? A very slow one, about to get slower.
Anything exciting happened? No.
What are their backgrounds? One's a social media show pony suffering from NPD, the other could be the real deal.
Are there any doubts as to the legitimacy of these runs? Yes, Marvelous Mimi's (see post above).
