You have people in this thread getting largely upvoted for comparing Nedd to Belle Gibson, there’s something seriously wrong with you.
It has been made clear several times that the actual claims are not compared but the fact that they are liars...or are you one of those morally bankrupt people who have a scale of 'lies' from acceptable to bad?
Just have a look at The Barefoot Sports Timing site, the cumulative time does not match the time of day... Intriguing
Has anyone got an answer to this?
What did I literally chastise you guys about on the previous page of this thread? Answer is right there and it's because you guys don't know how to read data. I took less than a minute to look at the timing website and taught both your "Trans con expert" and your self proclaimed "mathematics and games theory expert".
The cumulative time (180 hours) does not include the "Transition time (another 50 hours). But at least one guy here thinks that this way of "record" keeping makes sense.
Could it be because the cumulative time only gets updated when one of his “master laps” is completed and uploaded to the timing system?
Sum up the "Transition" time, which is the rest time. Add that to the cumulative time, which is the moving time. Or you could just literally look at the column that says "Time of day" for the overall time.
Bob, do you agree that Nedd has done more to popularize ultra running in this past week alone than your organization has been able to do this whole past year?
😆 Whatever Nedd is popularizing, it's not ultrarunning. What he's doing is a charity stunt run. It has very little in common with what ultrarunning is actually about. (It's beyond my pay grade to evaluate the trade-off here of how much good he is doing for homelessness vs. how inauthentic this performance is.)
Yes, he is using a charity run to promote himself. It doesn't matter what the stunt is, you do something that seems crazy to the average person, attach ba charity and you make a name that will make you very rich indeed.
Of course the people that pay above average income tax like me in a country that is quite socialist, and supports charities directly, and has volunteered their whole lives, they are 'haters' because they are not sending kisses on tiktok and contributing a paltry $10 there. To these cultists youb are only a good petrson if you are gullible and bow at the feet of the person doing said crazy stunt.

Besides your master expertise in data reading, have you ever run a ultramarathon or any other race?

It took you haterz 38 pages of this thread and you still couldn't figure that simple thing out for yourselves without me teaching you. Who's the real expert now?

...oh ok, we have a modern timing system but have to get the calculators out do we? Why is everything behind a smokescreen?
Cumulative running time means absolutely jack in a run like this, it should not even be reported. Its like cumulating your lifetime training miles to get a time for a distance.
BTW, again, why are the lap splits not live? Why master laps?
..and before you next sarcastic remark, I am a professional timer myself.

Your responses just show how dumb you are that you cannot understand what the issue is.
Stop trying to be a sarcastic troll , this is not the way that timing is reported
Because Nedd came up with this genius "Masterlap" system where he runs every lap twice from the outside in and back out again. All of it is supposed to be 12.8 k. Very complicated and error prone. People have reported that he has been seen in the wrong lanes.
And everybody on tiktok is asking the same questions as well: What is a Masterlap? How much longer he has to run? Why is Nedd resting and we don't see a distance?
Sneakers, I posted about this yesterday. Sometimes his time on track is included in the 12.8km masterlap splits, sometimes it not.
Look at his average speed of the laps, or the massive spikes in pace graph of lap times at bottom of the page.
For the person who claims he's a "real expert", "the only one who can read data" and "everyone else is a hater" and brashly paints everyone else as an idiot, you're missing something pretty obvious to this non-data guy who's never looked at Strava in his life.
Could you please just try to contribute to the discussion more politely and not be so antagonistic.

Am I the only one not blind and can see the humongous total time graphic at the top of the timing page? You don't even need to do any calculations from the table columns, you simply need to know how to read.
The lap splits are "live" enough for my uses, this isn't a 5 km at a track meet. You can watch the TikTok stream if you want "live". If you don't like "master laps", you can sponsor Nedd for his next run and set the format.
As a "professional timer", you should have easily been able to see that all the laps are time stamped with the time of day, which would be stored as a UTC string in the database backend to allow for easy total time calculations. The fact that you couldn't comprehend this without me teaching you....

I don't want to analyze 10 days of TikTok video to verify the timings from the timing company. Not worth the time and effort since Nedd's run isn't record eligible. I could automate some portions of it but still not worth the effort. Just treat this as more of a fun run.
Maybe if Bob Hearn and GOMU paid me handsomely for my expertise.
