yep, Choi the pacemaker from hell. Far too quick, each day quicker than the last, no let up and goading, goading, goading. To have him do a mile as fast as he could is sheer madness.
This thread was originally titled, "Incredible development in the $612,000 Transcon Goodge run, currently ongoing" but the new title is more descriptive. The description of the run is here.

Who is this Choi guy anyway? Seems like some dude who just places a camera in his face each day and places it on instragram while he jogs slowly, while he wears a 1990s baseball cap somewhat crooked, backwards and talks in cool hip rhyme. Am I missing anything?
Too bad he made “Paul hits the Wall” run too hard this morning. Seems to have crushed his spirit with a walk day.
Whatever you do - do not Google MC30 -
and the dreaded cadence drop outs are back with a vengeance. Wasn't he just walking and weaving all over the road yesterday, half asleep?
Check out 47.2k onwards for spm for instance. It's pretty much at 0 for over 2k and only 17 mins for them which isn't bad at all, considering a lot of the day was at 10+.140 -

If you can't run, walk. If you can't walk, crawl. If you can't crawl, ride in the RV - Anonymous Runfluencer.

Hours into the day, but only 3 miles to show for it. Apparently they tried cross-country for a few hours and up to 10 miles, but too muddy, so getting him back on the concrete. Think they drove him back to yesterday's start, which I guess is ok, but a grey area.

Bad race management.

Oh well, fun while it lasted.
How many of those shoes did you go through? Maybe he should run a mile in each pair and auction them...

And this goes to prove that I am totally right about everything all along from analyzing the data and you and Cockerell were absolutely wrong about everything accusing PJ of cheating and riding in the RV.

This thread is fascinating, featuring some of the most unusual and even extreme personalities in a single thread. There isn't even room for politics to which most threads veer.

Nah, not necessarily. He may have been cheating before, but has stopped now and that’s why the mileage is atrocious. Depends how much or how often he was cheating, if he was.

We could talk about why Cockerell and crew are so jealous of handsome men that they desperately resort to accusing them of cheating at everything everyday when none of the data supports those accusations

I really don't care at all about this part of the sport, and yet I've followed this thread closely. For some reason it feels like time travel back to an earlier era of the internet.

Huh? all we're saying is that the cadence drop outs stopped, now they've started again at the height of his exhaustion. We raised it as an issue, he gets a cadence back for a few days, and now something's way off again.

It's okay for you to acknowledge you've been wrong all along about your cheating accusations of PJ. Let it go.

Well, it appears Paul has put up a stout 14 hour 50k so far today. Maybe a few unadvised early miles to rack it to 60k. But 60k is not 60 miles, and 60 miles is not 75 miles. This guy is circling the drain.

Rough day out there for our boy. The last couple miles of zero cadence will need some closer inspection because for the first time we are seeing very low heart rates even while moving. Normally at the 15min/mile paces we see something at least 110, but seeing 70s and 80s there, which is probably about his resting heart rate given how much of a beating he has taken. Hard to make the "pole issues" case there because it's downhill, whereas all previous cadence dropouts have been on uphills.
From Kostelnick on PJ's instagram post today:
I think if you want to do sub-50 days, you should blind yourself to socials for a couple days and find a rhythm you can repeat. I don’t think the current situation will allow that.

A quick check of the fundraising : 15 days in of the originally planned "40 days" so 37.5% of the days burned with $179k or ~18% of the fundraising goal met. Fundraising for these things tends to be lumpy rather than linear but also generally predicated on a finish. In absolute dollars, $179k is no small amount so from that perspective he's doing well. I don't recall where the WG run landed from a fundraise standpoint and I don't recall a final accounting nor a handover of a "big check".

$179k is damn impressive.
I believe Goodge did his fundraising through GoFundMe or something similar so who knows where the money ended up.
PJ at least is funneling donations directly to his nominated charity.
He’s got a lot to learn about multi-day running but his fundraising skills are on point.130 -
Goodge collected just under 100k. Paul is on track for considerably more. Goodge must be scratching his head wondering why this guy is so much more successful than him.
