Sandra Vi going for record across America

The Garmin data indicates Sandy took a very long break of nearly 30 minutes at 3:01 pm PDT. At 2:40 pm she took a 15 minute break. She continued on. Then at 4:02 pm it looks like she stopped and got a ride to a campground. Something is up.

To get back on track she will need to return to a point on highway 50/6, about 2 miles east of the intersection with Nevada road (NV-893); to Lat: 39.048715, Lon: -114.512430.

Possible needs a day of rest, similar to what Pete K did on his run--an early off day.

With Mimi you can't see the type of data Sandy is posting using Garmin. I'm not sure why Mimi isn't using a similar GPS immediate data upload. Maybe she is but if so I haven't found a link.

Did we ever hear how much this run is costing to produce now?

I really wish there was a way to see blood data. Not because I'm worried about doping, but it would be very interesting to see how the body reacts to such extreme levels of stress.

If you are really interested you have to do a similar run yourself. Maybe daily self-sampling. Then you can chart the results and see what the changes are. This could be an interesting PhD thesis for someone in sports medicine.

There was a big study done during a Trans Europe race a lot of years back.

A lot of information from the runners where gathered and studies where published over the years.

Maybe her 61 miles yesterday were too much?

It looks like she did 40 ish miles so far for today.

11:25h for 41.7 miles that doesn't sound good for Sandra.

She did 59 a few days ago.

That includes 45 minutes of stopping. She was more or less on pace for 55 miles in 13-1/2 hours; the same as prior days.

Anyways, don't over analyze. Remember that Pete K took an entire day off.

The other thing to note was a comment Pete K made about the horror of running in Nevada. He got buzzed by several insane drivers blasting by at well over the speed limit, and seemingly not yielding over as the zipped by. Mimi looks like she avoided Nevada like it is plagued.

Sandra has not moved this morning.

Let's hope she will drive back were she stopped running last night.

Usually she has started by now, right?

Sandra started at 8:36 where she stopped yesterday after 40 miles.

Yes, she backtracked and picked up exactly where she stopped yesterday. You need to subtract ~30 miles from the Garmin distance to determine the distance she has actually run. The double back is all on her Garmin.

Her Garmin data backtracks to a time earlier than you stated. It shows 6:36 AM PDT. Nevada is in the PDT time Zone.

Much of the variation is in daily mileage is caused by finding a reasonable place to stop for the night.

Marcus, your chart is a great idea. You can see that the day Pete ran 0 miles is when Mimi reduced her daily mileage.

Sandy is less than one mile off her planned 55 miles per day after yesterday's 40 mile run. I don't know what Mimi's daily plan is but it no longer seems to be the 100 km per day she tried the first day.

Marcus, please look back at your data for Sandy. Her 40 mile day is day 10 and it looks like your chart has it as day 8.

Sorry for the confusion.

Here is the comparison with all the days of Sandy.

Thanks for the updated chart, Marcus. Sandy's two 50 mile days were in Yosemite. She ran almost as high as 10,000 feet when crossing the Tioga Pass.
