Sandra Vi going for record across America

Scam_Watcheroo are you upset because this makes Mimi's run more legitimate? Whatever happened to the fake Stravas you were going to make? I agree with the good folks on URC that cadence is another strong piece of evidence in favor of Mimi. Rob, sitting in an RV, obviously didn't have that.

Except that Mimi's cadence has the same issues you are using to claim Sandy's data is bogus. Mimi has 2000 km of bogus data from California to Kansas. So, Mimi does not have data "favor."

And I want to believe!

Put your boots on the ground.

For Mimi, I still see breadcrumbs and I see a max speed of 7.56 mph this morning. In her afternoon run, her max is 5.64 mph but she just started.

Mimi has stopped tracking on her Garmin. The breadcrumb part.

Looks like you turned on some kind of filter.

I haven't "claimed Sandy's data is bogus". I'm not sure where you're getting that.

So you think this is legit now?

Err ... you know what, I do. BUT there are questions to be answers and data to be analysed. I really hope that if or when Mimi gets to the east coast there's a full release of anything from her and her team that could be used to back up a record claim but equally could be used to incriminate: Dumps from all devices, any photos/videos taken during the attempt (not just of the attempt), witness statements, gas receipts for the support vehicles, log books, perhaps transcripts of emails/SMSs discussing the Racedrone tracker error? I'd like to hear more from 'Mr Racedrone' too about what went on there.

'Proof' is going to come down to balance of probability, as it always does.

Do you believe they put a man on the moon?

Nope. It changed back. I have been using shared Garmin data for over a year.

Now scroll down on Mimi's data sets. You will see all of her ons and offs.

I think that was just her normal break. We should be able to calculate the distance from where she started and where she stopped on the map today. That number should equal roughly the same number of miles as on Strava and the Garmin.

Yep, I think both are legit! Unfortunately we'll never really know about the first half.

Mimi hasn't gotten a hold of how to use the Garmin yet. Several hiccups so far. But it appears that:

Morning Run: 31.52 miles, run in 7:34:15, with a pace of 4.16 mph.

Afternoon run (so far): 2.74 miles, run in 0:38:15, with a pace of 4.30 mph.

She is slower than prior days.

We also don't know how any of this will affect GWR's validation of any transcon record claim. After all, they are Guinness World Records, not Let's Run World Records, or Ultra Running Community World Records.

I don't know if their qualifying criteria for proofing an attempt are public, having only read what Mimi mentioned in that interview way up there ^^

Anyone know?

The normal break occurred earlier. Her break occurred from 10:28 to 10:58 am California time. The data stop occurred at 11:25 am.

Right, I think we're saying the same thing. Those "ons and offs" were during that time period. Zero miles traveled. I think that was her break.

I have no idea why the breadcrumbs temporarily disappeared but it looks like all data is present and accounted for.

11:25 am is after her break which ended at 10:58 am. She seems to be fiddling with it while she runs. Best to leave it be.

Scam, you are going to tee off a lot of folks with your recent marathon record. You put up some blazing times on some of those Strava segments and shook up some leader boards!

Is my 1:59 London Marathon world record really showing up on the public leaderboards? I checked the box to hide it from the leaderboards so I thought it wouldn't affect any rankings.

Yes, it is:

But I wouldn't mind it, who cares if some British hobby joggers are triggered because they lose one place on that leaderboard.

I had a good coach who made it all possible.

Maggie M(ay) is faster than Rob Watson. Is that the Rob Watson who is a multi-time Canadian steeplechase champ?
