I don't see Charlie's promised GW Bridge video - did I miss it somewhere?

It looks like he wasn't posting it live. Hopefully live will happen soon. Not sure though.
Here is a link to a live cam at Times Square.

Charlie Engle just said that he will be back with the video around 5pm ET.
He needs to charge his phone.
They are at W 144ST right now.
Frank Giannino is at the finish, waiting for him. Word is that he is either going to confess that he faked it all, or claim that he really finished in 41 days. ;-)
He really is at the finish.

I have no frame of reference to handle this. Amazing. Truly one of those moments that's literally inspiring. If another human being can do that, I can probably grind through whatever my next challenge is.
^ What he said.
Evidently Pete is kicking the final 10 miles in. Get 'er done!!!
Detour through Central Park?
Looks like he is headed to the park. Good move.
yeah but not if he wanted to avoid any hills. Oh well... nice day to enjoy the scenery

Looks like he took the route with more hills. But I wouldn't expect anything less. I wonder if he will run down 7th and hook up with Broadway. He could also exit at 6th (my street) or 5th.
I am in absolute awe over this. The thought of going out and doing 70 miles today, and then tomorrow and then everyday for the next 41 days is beyond what I can even fathom. I am not sure if Pete will ever see this, but if he does, Bravo, young man, Bravo. We live in a society that has come to place more value on celebrities and reality TV than people who actually accomplish things (whether you think he is accomplishing this for himself or changing the world it does not matter). A feat like this should be celebrated because it shows what hard work, perseverance and having a goal can do.
Now where is he going? He needs a subway pass or uber. Someone call RY or Rossi.

The dude was running up mountains a month ago, and logging 4000+ ft/day of climbing within the last week.
The hills in Central Park are a small obstacle.
Go Pete. You have inspired me to get a shit load fitter and do a crazy run one day!
~5 miles to go. I think he's going to make it!
Down to the final hour! ~5 miles to go.
not an issue. It looks like he went straight down CPW. So pretty flat.
I am disappointed. Only 25 pages for this world class record, versus 500+ for this Brit cheater ;-(
