In this attempt after days of running, in the desert heat, on hilly terrain he runs over 150 miles in 48 hours?
His shorter times are relevant because he is claiming to have run stretches of this race, quicker than he has for any official race in his life. If he had been covering 70-80 miles all at 9+ min/milling, I doubt many people would be bothered. When he is running at 6.xx min/miling and there is no evidence he is capable of that, we assume that he is getting assistance.
You guys probably have already gone through this in the last 100 pages, but I will bring it up again anyway. Do we have splits and paces with altitude changes for the section coming out of the Mojave Desert on the way up to Kingman if he was on I-40, and then on to Flagstaff, Arizona? There was also a play trip to the Grand Canyon which would be out of the way.
That climb goes from near sea level to 7,000 ft. altitude. If the splits and pace is near 6:00 minutes per mile for long mileage up that huge climb it is very likely that nobody can do that because it is impossible. It would also be impossible for World Champion Robert Young to do it.
What was his pace for that section?
I think the World Champion might be in really big trouble here.
I am having an espresso now Robert. I am wide awake and ready to help you in your dream/nightmare situation.
Come on World Champ. It is time to run.
