And Tim is at the Highland Lake Golf Course shown in the upper right. Is that where he caught the fish?

Eh, I don't get all the Mimi hate. I'm still kind of on the fence about the validity of her collected run data, but if she wants to run herself (and her knee) into the ground, that's her decision and her business. Doubtless we've all had the experience of doing a long run or race while injured or sick, when stubbornness overrode our common sense. I hope's she able to recover and finish her route to New York.

Today would also be a partially lost day for Mimi if she's able to restart, because it's unlikely the doctor doesn't start appointments before 8ish, I should think.

It is already Noon time where Mimi is. She has already lost 7 hours for today. Sandy has run 27 miles.

It doesn't work that way. The doctor can force her to stop for her own protection. Some serious knee damage has already been done.

What? No doctor can force you to stop running. What are you on about?

Of course they can. In long distance ultras a doctor can pull you off the course. In this case this is the third medical stop in the last week. She has likely been advised to stop and has continued to hurt herself.

Correct. In an official sanctioned race, which this stunt run isn't

She's free to wreck herself as much as she wants - you honestly think Diageo (Guinness) cares?

Do you actually want to watch the self-abuse continue? Personally I would like her to stop, make the best of the situation, and take care of herself.

This is a link to the specialist she is seeing. They are noted for knee and hip replacements, and spine surgery. The knee is likely only one of the problems.

Regarding the world record, I assume that Guinness cares about the fastest crossing, not who has the best average pace?

Trivia: How will Mimi leave the USA?

1) As a world record holder

2) In a wheelchair

3) In a coffin

I personally could care less. I'm sick of these shameless, self promoting stunt "ultra" runners polluting our sport.

Anything she does from here on out is on her and whatever she calls her squaddie husband. If I lived in GB I might be pissed though as NHS might have to foot the bill for her stupidity / vanity

I believe so. The short distance is actually less than 2400 miles San Diego, California to Jacksonville, Florida. No one seems to have ever tried that route.

We most certainly agree on this. Mimi crossed the line into this being all about self promotion weeks ago. Sandy isn't at that point. At least I don't believe so since she put in $30,000 of her own money to do the run.

Sandy put in $15,000 or 17,000 according to her coach Dave Krupkski.

Still amazed that Trasie Phan asked for $90,000 a couple weeks back.

Yup. I'd argue she crossed that line years ago see "double badwater" "double Sparta" etc

Fu#k off Mimi

Interesting post on Sandra's Facebook page with details about how her team got together to put on this run, as well they are doing a raffle with prizes. Looks like Sandra is finding the marjority of her transcon from her own savings and it is estimated it will cost around $30,000 in total:
