If you look up what "real time" means in data processing you'll be surprised.
Near-time is more than enough

Obviously. Within a minute or two is sufficient for the purposes here, and VERY doable.
Based on Markus' marathon PR of 3:07 the naysayers would claim his 16:41 PR for 100 miles did not compute. He is an example of someone who can run, run, run and outlast much faster shorter distance runners.

"Mimi and her support car have been stationary for much more than an hour. Hidden under her Google map are some basic information circles. Some are colored in. The interestingone is a gray circle with the note "Tracker Powered Off". Also an orange circle with the note "Currently Stationary".
To see this hidden data do the following. Put your computerpointer (mouse) over her Google map it will change to a hand. Then, without clicking, scroll up. You should see a "Participants" in large green text with the data below. You will also see to the right of "Participants" gray box with white text that counts from 300 to 0 and then starts over. This counter is a her Google map update timer; every 300 seconds."

That is quite odd. I can also confirm that I see Mimi's GPS tracker along with that of her support car as having been turned off for quite a while now at the intersection of Highway 10 and an unnamed side road. The RV tracker is turned on but has been stationary for a long time and is far up the road.
Attached are a couple of screenshots from Mimi's GPS tracker for what I see. I'm curious what will happen. This does not inspire much confidence in Mimi's tracker compared to Sandra. This makes a good case for why there needs to be independent observers every now and then just to be safe. Trust but verify.

too legit to quit wrote:she talks more about tracking and validating her run in a MarathonTalk interview.
its all kinda vague though and i dont remember most of it but if you're interested you can listen here.
https://marathontalk.com/shows/episode-400-mimi-anderson/Well, thanks for that link (the mimi interview starts at 1:36:00).
I'm not sure if this has been brought up here, but besides the Strava upload, Mimi also says that she was to be carrying a GPS tracker. Is that still in effect? Is that not a real-time check on here whereabouts? Or can that be hacked? Or has she stopped carrying the tracker? Any answers or comments on these issues? (I'm new to this stuff.)
Interviewer: "How do you prepare?"
Mimi: "If I was to go out and do 53 miles everyday (in training), I’d probably get injured, or I'd knacker myself."
So it's been over 2 hours since Mimi's GPS tracker and that of her support car were turned off with the RV sitting far down the road. There is also no recent tweets or Facebook posts.
This is beginning to tip the balance of the suspicion meter for me with all the other oddities I've seen and the very high mileage. There really must be unannounced independent observers on the ground. For me, this GPS data and the few pictures available are not enough proof.
Thank you for helping watch this. See if you catch what I saw a couple of days ago. A sudden long jump in the web page position for Mimi (1) and the support car (107). My guess is that they two will jump to where the RV (108) has been stopped since this morning. The RV is 18.9 miles (30.4 km) up the road.

Showing up unannounced is extremely difficult the way Mimi is "tracking". How is someone supposed to know where she is and when she will be at a certain point? You would have to drive back down the road and hope she stays on her planned course, and did not start early or late, and that she is actually on the road when you pass by.
I will try to catch a change to Mimi's GPS tracker but I might miss it. Take screenshots if you catch it. Were there many other instances where Mimi turned off her tracker?
Right now, I'm more convinced of Sandra's evidence than I am of Mimi's.

Stand on a small mountain with a telescope looking down or sit in a car up the road and wait for Mimi to pass by and repeat a la Paz.
Where is Asher Delmott when you need him?

How is he or anyone supposed to observe Mimi when we don't even know where she is?

Guys, this is it. It is going down now. The tracker is the evidence. As OJ said "if the glove don't fit, you gotta aquit."
Well in this case, the REAL-TIME tracker IS, above all else, the greatest piece of verification in this whole fiasco. Therefore..."if the tracker ain't on, you didn't run it, Hon." No excuses!
Interviewer: “Let’s dig into some of the ways in your World Record attempt that we can follow your journey. More importantly, that you can prove you’ve done what you say you’re going to do.
Mimi: (nervous(?) laugh)
Interviewer: "Followers of the ultra-running scene over the last few years...in various attempts (are aware of cheating )...hopping into vehicles..folks just kind of not doing everything in the way it should be done, in order for (1) It to be credible and believable and authentic and genuine; and ((2)) also to stand for a World Record. And I know that’s something that’s important to you. So,…"
Mimi: “Yeahâ€
Interviewer: “..you’ve got, so you’ve got trackers on you, yes, while running? You’ve got a second tracker on the RV. You’ve got your Suunto GPS that records everything...
Mimi: “Yeahâ€

My first thought was making there was an accident, but apparently this has happened before.
Those interview answers to the pertinent questions were quite insufficient.
