From the current LRC thread on Mimi Anderson's Run Across America where there are serious questions about her team's proven lies about their Race Drone live GPS trackers, the argument put forth by the Ultra Running Community Facebook group and the supporters of Mimi Anderson is that only the Strava data matters and that the live trackers don't matter at all.
I explained several times that they are very wrong and that it is very easy to spoof Strava data. Strava data CANNOT be used as a primary form of proof without other strong supporting evidence and I am showing why that is in this thread.
The URC members said I could not spoof Strava GPS data with cadence and heart rate even though it is plainly obvious it is easy to do. I wrote my own tool using one method out of several I thought of to prove them wrong and show why honesty, transparency, and integrity in all aspects of a transcon run is so important.
I have spoofed 3 of Mimi's runs and I may spoof more. Below are screenshots showing them side by side. Which is which?
