Some kind of summary: OCT 15th End of Day

Mimi: 39 days

Distance as this night 2,139.6 (Strava) + ~57 miles (Garmin not Strava)

Remaining distance: 689 miles

Ended near her route mile marker 2149

Sandy: 35 days

Distance as of this night 1,960.7 miles (according to Strava)

Remaining distance: 1106 miles

Remaining distance is based on:

-- Sandy, her original estimate of 3067 miles (Pete K's route). Sandy did make some deviations from Pete's route; some intentional and some off-course.

-- Mimi, her original estimate of 2838 miles with an adjustment for the actual mile marker she ended the day at according to her planned route (2838 miles - end of day closest mile marker). Mimi has gone off-course a few times and her planned route was not on actual roads in a few areas.

Looks like in a best case scenario Mimi could finish Oct 28th under 52 full days, if she could keep up 58 miles per day. (Not very likely)

Sandy could finish Nov 2nd under 53 days (A lot more likely due to the fact that Sandy is very consistent for the last 12 days)

Sandy would win by the most miles per day measure.

Still, at least 13/18 days to go.

The 2-mile diversion after lunch was because Highway 30 (Lincoln Hwy) is closed for construction for a few miles, so Pete Kostelnick's dad led us on some dirt roads around the construction...

Thank you for the explanation. That's awesome that Pete's dad is with you!

What an incredible journey -- keep on keeping on!

Was this Marina's first 16+ hr day? I've mostly looked at Strava data after it's posted (which doesn't include her lunch break) so I may have missed one. This seems excessive even for her.

I have some other thoughts about her "performance" yesterday but I'm holding off.

Mimi had 11 x 15+ hour days (not including lunch break) one of them was 16:18 (day 7)

Thanks Markus!

Elapsed time is total time from start of the day until end of the day. Sandy's Strava is based on total elapsed time. Mimi's excludes lunch breaks, and it appears it it also excludes other mini-breaks. If you want to figure out actual running time for Sandy remove the lunch breaks from the total elapsed time.

I've seen nothing new since the video of her walking in obvious pain which was a while ago.

Is Sandra Vi single?

What makes you think Mimi's Strava excludes breaks other than her lunch stop?

Because I have seen a few 4-8 minute time differences between consecutive breadcrumbs. When I look for her time position to match Sandy's split time I have seen more than a few consecutive breadcrumbs with 4-6 minute time changes. That means the tracker stay in one spot for 2-4 minutes. I do not know if she is turning the Sunnto off at those times, but it seems that she is because her Strava uploads indicate a pace faster than Garmin has.

If you take the total elapsed time and remove the lunch break only then that allows a fair comparison. In any running event you simply cannot stop and claim that time did not count. When you reach the finish line is what counts.

Do you want to marry her?

You probably can't keep up with her.

Oh, boy. I'm going to go with a Klingon invasion this time and Mimi is busy fighting them in hand to hand combat.

Probably? I would say definitely.

How many people in the United States could keep up with Sandy from where she started until now? Fewer than a hundred? Fewer than a thousand? It's an interesting question.

Mimi has been stopped since 7:12 AM and has not restarted as of 8:06AM.

According to her Garmin she is in the parking lot (not on the road) of an auto repair place. At 07:58 she moved but stay within the parking lot. The Garmin is in the blue arrow up position which generally means intentionally not moving.
