Besides Sandy having literally the perfect demeanor/composure for a transcon -- as well as being one hell of a determined athlete -- the two people who have been most-instrumental in her success are Cinder and Jay.

When I first met Cinder, she had a goal to do a transcon herself. Not all at once, but as far as she could get every summer for a few consecutive years, until she made it. When she was invited to crew Pete K's run, it was a dream come true and she checked that goal off her list. Being able to do it all again with Sandy is icing on the cake.

Cinder is a must have on any transcon tram. Who else could come close to a resume of captaining--and a lot more than that--for the men's record breaker, and now for Sandy. Cinder has managed to keep both runners in excellent health and at the proper weight; exceptional accomplishments on their own.

About the weather. Sandy has been running in the rain all morning. Temps are finally over 40 ºF. The same weather is expected for Sunday.

It seems to me that Sandy has had more adverse weather days than Pete K did for his transcon.

Ohio Mile Numbers

Sandy's Miles (mostly Strava): 235

Sandy, more or less, ran an Ohio route that was reasonably close to Google maps walking distance. For some reason her Strava miles are a few miles longer.

Here is a list in spreadsheet style that lists 279 runs across America. Starting with Edward Payson Weston's first crossing in 1909 up till 2012. Only 20 females on the list. Starting and end points are in many places. There are two people who covered over 7000 miles, and some people who took over 1000 days to cross. The list is put together by John Wallace who completed a Washington to Georgia transcon in 2004.

Does she have about a week to go at this point?

The tenacity is amazing. I'm not sure if I should be inspired or depressed.

That's the same list (same source even) that I posted earlier linked to

(the website up since 1910) ;)

Yes, about a week. If she pushes hard she can finish Friday. She'll almost certainly finish Saturday.

I recall in one of Pete K's interviews how Pennsylvania was a mixed blessing. Colder weather and hills that would have been mentally crushing earlier in the run, but now they signal how close you are to the end.
