There's skipping? I thought it was a running record not a skipping record? Skipping is definitely not allowed per GWR rules
Good catch! Speaking of rules, why is Mimi allowed to use an invisible relay team rather than run herself?

They're a bunch of jerks with no brains.

Invisibility is quite the secret weapon

Unlike us. We have all the brains. We have the best brains.

That is so strange. Are they occurring when the stops do?
Do any of you Garmin experts know why that occur?
I've had it happen. I think it was due to the watching being started before sufficient satellites were acquired. I also think it's because older watches took ages to acquire satellites and gps watches now uses some "clever" ways of speeding up acquisition like nearest cell tower location etc. It usually shows up on the strava as a starting location some short distance from the actual location before the track eventually moves to the correct one. Also shows up as huge elevation gain within the activity. I don't think it's an indication of anything suspicious going on with either sandy or mimi.
Re someone requesting a summary. There were a couple of good ones many pages ago if someone can find them and repost?
Dear Budding Genius,
I understand that you think the relay idea is crazy talk and I agree with you but can you please stop shitting in this thread.
I'd actually like to find out whats happening with Sandra and Mimi but you're making it impossible to follow.
thanks
bye.

Weather radar maps indicate Sandy got stopped by a snow storm last night. She is stopped at over 9000 feet near the continental divide. The storm is moving through and the worst has passed. It will be clear sometime today. Snow plows will have to clear the roads.
I don't know America so why has Sandy chosen a longer route taking her through snow and dangerous conditions and Mimi is taking one 300 miles shorter seemingly away from snow?
Is Mimi only thinking about this Guinness record?
Is Sandra therefore still on target to break another record, or what?

110F
Sandy might has chosen the northern route because she lives close to San Francisco and Pete Kostelnick had done a similar route last year.
There are so many things going into a Trans America route.
For the record attempt it doesn't make much sense for me since LA- NY can be shorter.
But there are always trade offs. Mimi Anderson had the Mojave desert with 110F which she did 60 mile days. Sandy just had some snow which is always an option in high country Colorado.
I think she lost some miles because of her 70 mile run yesterday. Together with today's 20 miles she could have done 2 easier and shorter 45 mile days instead since the closure of passes never last long in Colorado. But you never know.
It's still a very long way to go and anything can happen.

Coach Gary and Guru Pete K decided that she needed to get over the pass if possible. So she went for it. The pass was closed and they were one of the first in line to pass once once the police allowed traffic to continue. The traffic was backup all the way to Steamboat Springs (~15 miles). I think Gary and Pete made the right decision. Otherwise, she would have been trying to run over the pass without the support cars which would have been stuck in the long line.
Today's run was cut short at the intersection where the final mountain pass waited ahead. That pass is even higher than the 9500 pass of last night; ~10,300 feet about 40 miles to reach. A 50 mile run would end them up at below 8000 ft.
I have to take back that they stopped where they needed to head east towards Fort Collins on CR 28. I thought that was their route but Sandy's Garmin now indicates they run will go the town she got a ride to (Walden). Now a 50 mile run tomorrow puts her at the 10,262 foot pass. A 55 mile run gets her down to 8000 feet.

Markus knows this better than anyone. He made it with a few days of completing a transcon. But he completed other transcons. Even with experience, you never know.
I don't have any super-ultra experience, but if it is anything like a marathon or trail ultra, halfway is really a quarter of the way, in terms of things that can go wrong.
Interesting.
So what happens at the end? The marvelous one sends in a claim to Guinness, but what about Sandra?
Who verifies her attempt if it won't qualify as a record?
I'm assuming Mimi will finish first as she's doing a shorter route.
Mimi's bragging and sketchy goings on makes me hope she doesn't finish, and i'm from the uk!
She must be rattling with painkillers with that mashed knee.
Can't be good for her long term running to trash it like this. She could end her running career by carrying on.
What I hate about her camp is her fanboys, especially the husband.
I dislike overpowering partners shielding shady goings on and he seems pretty aggressive

Give it up already! You've been saying relay relay relay for over a week and have only made accusations without providing any proof.
So show us the proof or STFU.
Mimi has run 60 miles through +110 degree deserts and 300 miles through -75 degree polar ice caps without stopping. This is all verifiable through written language on your system of interconnected computers. She is a human person. Bow to your new overlord. *** End transmission ***

Don't forget the monstrous Arctic winds they kept knocking her over. ... maybe she meant knackering her over.
