We literally had to post the names of the towns for them, the checkpoints Al made, the distance they were behind record pace; all we got was an argument, but we were right, and it’s still archived.

Please no one else reply to this thread. I would like my derangement to be on full view for all of letsrun.
It may seem like catching them in a white lie, but Al’s pace was supposedly the central goal of their existence. The actual central point of their existence was cheating, and promoting that cheating.
Nice impersonation, up early to troll?
Same impersonation as last year, by the way, they even admitted it & you can read the archive: “You just use a capital “I” for the lower-case “l.””
Too bad experience is hard to fabricate.
I'm just here for the crazy.
You came to the right place! After 5 transcons, even my friends might say I never recovered.
My old cohort Michael Kenney even wants to organize another one! Strictly a young man’s game...
I was literally called “ultra crazy” by UltraRunning Magazine after the first Trans Am, they just didn’t see how it ever got to New York. Back issues are $10 last I checked, for any honest researchers out there.
Since no one reads this, no one will google coolrunning Australia & search Pat Farmer for his historic blog of the 1995 Trans Am. He was assisted by an Australian couple as publicists. These are the details, with plenty of negatives, that are realistic. Pat prepared to win, but he wasn’t afraid to post his experience. Unlike Proctor...
Proctor never seemed to keep his appointed functions in big towns, and when you see all the cameras identifying the cheater Meza, you can see why.

"...an ONION on our belt, as was the style at the time."
Functions in big towns might make too much money for the charity, so there’s no reason to attend those.
Regina, you’ll recall, I called the “R” word. They wouldn’t mention it until they were past it.
If anybody wants to check Proctor's Strava you can do so, it's public and his whole attempt is viewable. It's a legit attempt, as in there is nothing in the actual runnimg data from the watch that looks suspicious. Although, you can see he cleay went out of the gate with too many miles the first day and then tried to go at a certain number after that consistently but lost half a day somewhere then eventually taking a full day off. Once you're behind like that you can't really catch back up.
Based on what we know now, most likely explanation for the constant changes of speed in the GPS would be using different people from his large entourage.
They all ran different speeds, but all of them were too fast. It’s actually quite difficult to run slowly if you don’t do all the miles yourself.
The GPS data shows cadence, or more specifically how many times his feet touch the ground each minute but in an avg rate. If it was multiple users on the GPS data you would see inconsistencies in the output of steps.
I haven't scrutinized it but cadence would naturally change as fatigue sets in and would change upon injury, in theory. So you could take your energy off this subject and go start looking at his cadence data, pertaining to downhills, uphills, while fresh, tired and the days after injury.
I used to run at different speed and cadences as well. That never changes the archived data from all the transcons. We wrote it all down. It’s there in ink forever, despite the current live data social media fake trends.
Nice impersonation...
