Sandra Vi going for record across America

Mimi's run is a lesson in how NOT to do a transcon for record persons.

*purposes

-- Urrrr, auto-correct

Doesn't really matter what you consider though does it?

As of 3:57 PM

Sandy 55 miles

Mimi 44 miles (~1 hour longer running time)

I've seen more than that. There was one only today on Twitter from Jenny Davis.

And for all the conjecture and half truth posted here I haven't seen anyone actually post any evidence of cheating. Just allegation and innuendo. So if you believe she is then where's the actual proof?

Can you please link us to that video and the others? I think a lot of it has been missed. It's very difficult to keep track with Mimi's two facebook pages, Tim's page, the film page, Mimi's blog and so on. It would be nice to have it all in one place. Thanks for your help.

So Verify, is that a no? I think you answered someone else (about posting photos to Strava) but not me. I would like to see the evidence you're describing. I still believe Mimi is not cheating but I don't understand the need for secrecy or some of the other steps taken. It seems like transparency would benefit everyone.

It seems unlikely Mimi will hit her usual goal of around 55 miles unless she runs well into the evening. Is she slower than yesterday?

It appears she is slower than yesterday. It is 6:10 now in Missouri. She is now at almost 55 miles. It will take her just under 3 hours to cover 10 more miles at a 3-1/2 mph pace. I don't see her running until 9:00 PM. That would make it a 16 hour day.

Oops: She is now at almost 45 miles.

LRC has exposed many cheaters already besides Mini and her crew.

So yes, what we consider does matter.

The data so far for Mimi is striking for the change in everything that has occurred since the halfway point. Something has certainly changed. She is not the same runner. She is more like Jim Walmsey who ran the 2016 Western States are record pace, got lost, walked to the end, and ended up 20th. But Mimi's is only halfway, and Jim was over 90% before he struggled.

That is such a huge change from how Mimi was running before all this attention. I'm going to have to lower the speed I spoof her Strava data at and implement a "hitting the wall" function that I see in her run data in the past couple of days.

Good. Compare before the wall and after the wall to see what they look like. It seems that everything will be different: pace, stride, heart rate, etc.

Strava data cannot be the primary proof for a transcon run without other strong supporting evidence that backs up what is in the Strava data.

I agree with this. Really, no single source of evidence is enough by itself.

Sorry, I was just trying to stay within forum etiquette but claiming something but making no actual effort to prove it.

Think it was Jenny Davis who posted a couple of the things I say, no idea what her Twitter handle is though

Wow, I'm convinced. Not.

Only for personal adventures. Absolutely not for record runs. The bar must be higher because it is impractical to monitor the runner the entire way. We are no longer in the data documentation stone age.

No reason to take the ostrich seriously. They don't seem to be following either runner.

OK, thanks. You mentioned you saw it on Twitter so I looked her up:

Perhaps Mimi is running so slow now because there are actually people coming out to observe her. Jenny Davis claims on her Twitter that there were 4 people who drove out to run with Mimi but there are no pictures. Perhaps they are afraid that they can never tell who is an LRC troll with all the cars passing by out to catch them and thus the huge drop in performance and now this slow pace is what Mimi is really capable of.
