Ross Woodward Right, I'm from the UK. I'm a member of URC. I grew up in the world of ultramarathon because my father was a prolific racer in the 70s. I am no troll. But I have to ask what the issue with monitoring Mimi in the field is. As seen with Rob Young if people make it known that they are watching then suddenly any nefarious activity ceases. If he wasn't actually interfering in the run I cannot see what possible issue there is with somebody being very interested in following your progress. Surely it's actually beneficial to have independent witnesses.
On another point you Letsrun isn't some formal group. You may as well say he's from Facebook.
Personally I think you'd be best placed admitting you screwed up the live tracking completing your run releasing the watch data to strava asap and not engaging in attacks and sensationalism.

Karon Davis the fact that the crew felt compelled to call the police about the guy ( and trust me, my daughter is not someone who would sensationalise anything, nor panic ) and the fact that the police when they arrived, did not just listen to both sides and tell everyone to play nicely, but arrested_the_guy, should prove to you that this was not someone merely interested in following their progress. Why didn't he just run along with Mimi ?

Ross Woodward Karon Davis, seriously are you suggesting that only people who can run 50 mile days should be interested in following the run. The guys who tracked Rob Young weren't running with him. A lot of very respected officionados wouldn't be able to. Also if he was on his own how would he get back to his car after spending the day running away from it. Did he have his own support crew?

Ross Woodward Karon Davis BTW the sensationalism was that the guy was arrested. It appears that the US has public records on such things and there is no record of an arrest.
