Sandra Vi going for record across America

Mimi Anderson has a gap in her Garmin. It looks like half a mile that was not run. Is that important?

It's possible.

Was she on WR pace?

Who? Yolanda?

No, she barely made the cut off in this race. Which is a really tough one.

Normally I would be disturbed by this, but since Mimi has already had huge gaps in her data (over 20 hours) I don't think this changes much.

It looks like she started a new 'track' this morning at 3:09:45 AM Garmin time.

If so, that would disqualify her run.

There is a blue dot before that at 3:08 am, then that leap to 3:09 am.

I think the run started at 3:08 and the track at 3:09. The Garmin was turned off in between? Not sure.

The distance is 1300 feet covered in exactly 1 minute. Close to a 4 minute mile.

The breadcrumbs aren't always that precise though. Sometimes they appear in fields along the road, etc. Hell if I know.

Hmmmm, for the summaries I have been providing I think I will use the 3:09 AM as the start time for Mimi. I'm not sure that else to do with it.

"at the 2017 Sri Chinmony 3100 Mile Race [ around a 1/2 mile block ] she set a World Record first Pedestrian (walker) finishing in 51 Days, 17 hours and 13 seconds"

3100 / 52 = 59.6 miles a day

"So far in the race, which began on June 18 and is scheduled to finish on Aug. 8, Ms. Holder has walked about 1,900 miles in in 33 days, sleeping only three and a half hours a night."

1900 / 33 = 57.6 miles a day

Her 59.6 miles per day leaves Mimi and Sandy in the dust.

OCT 10th:

Start Times:

Sandy 2:59 AM

Mimi 3:09 AM (*)

As of 7:41 AM

Sandy 20 miles

Mimi 17 miles

(*) Based on a 'new' track.

Insane. How is that even possible? Not only the distance but the sleep deprivation too.

OCT [b[11th: (date fixed)

Start Times:

Sandy 2:59 AM

Mimi 3:09 AM (*)

As of 7:41 AM

Sandy 20 miles

Mimi 17 miles

(*) Based on a 'new' track.

A comparison for the first 20 miles, based on Sandy getting there first, for yesterday and today. Sandy is very consistent covering 20 miles in nearly the same time. Mimi is slightly slow this morning.

OCT 10th:

Start Times:

Sandy 3:04 AM

Mimi 3:03 AM

At 7:45 AM

Sandy 20 miles

Mimi 18 miles

OCT 11th:

Mimi 3:09 AM

As of 7:41 AM

Sandy 20 miles

Mimi 17 miles

There's no comparison though, a flat 1/2 mile loop with no traffic and no changing conditions to worry about. I can see walking while almost sleeping on that. People used to do the same thing running 50 mile races on the track.

You can not compare a closed loop race with a Trans Con. The Trans Con is more difficult on all levels except the running. You have to pay attention to the traffic at all times, the crew has to find places to stop, there is no set routine...

It probably cut's away 10% of the mileage you could do on a loop course without traffic.

The 3100 miler is so difficult because of the heat and humidity in Queens in Summer and the concrete pavement they have to run on.

Both challenges are very difficult, that's for sure.

Maybe she can get by by sort of sleeping as she walks. Maybe that makes sense on a short loop course where you can't get lost. She must be able to mentally zone out doing the loop over and over again; like zoning out when you drive and not remembering how to got somewhere.

There is a story about a walker from the late 19th/early 20th century -- Edward Payson Weston. He walked one mile each and every hour, 24 hours every day, for something like a month. During 1909, at age 70, he was the first to walk from San Francisco to New York in 100 days, covering 4000 miles. The distance is likely an exaggeration. He likely walked closer to 3000 miles. There are a couple of books about him that I haven't read but people who have enjoyed. This guy's wiki page is really interesting -- he admitted to chewing coca leafs (doping) when he walked over 100 miles in 24 hours.

Like zombie driving. You don't remember how to got somewhere.
