Circumpolar Race Around the World (CRAW)

[opusone]

Past the halfway point in Costa Rica. We will cross over the 2,000 mile mark for our team today (quickly followed by 80% of Region 1)!

 

[avondale]

You know, every evening I enter my miles, and it seems like I'm always about 5 miles behind @opusone . I can never close the gap!

Oh, you may pass me up soon.

I am not getting many miles in while in Seattle for work. I did have two nice runs the last two mornings with temps at about 55-60. Hoping to get a few miles over the weekend but we have been working 12-14 hour days

 

[opusone]

Looks like we are on track to complete Costa Rica tomorrow and enter into Panama, the last country of Region 1. Well done everyone!

Hooray! I've got a total of 24 miles on my training plan for this weekend. Do you think that will get us through Panama? It's a small country, right?

 

[Dopey 2020]

We’re in Panama! So close

oh wait, 11 regions to go after this

Did 10 miles this AM at 56 degrees and no humidity, it was almost unreal how nice that is. This is definitely the time of year I love New England

 

[opusone]

We’re in Panama!

Yes, we are! Costa Rica complete...

 

[GuinnessRunner]

A few of us (not naming names, but it's about 3-4 folks) seem to be behind on posting mileage for this past week, so we are likely further along than what I stated above.

Guilty here. Have fallen into the trap of doing this 1-2 times per week. Need to get back to updating daily.

Told you so. Good weekend of running for you!

Week 6 Update

Well, we made it to Panama, the last country in Region 1! During the week, we accomplished the following:

• Completed our run through Costa Rica (Saturday)
• Completed 90% of Region 1 (Sunday)
• Admitted that we had a mileage posting problem (first step of the recovery process)

We should cross the halfway point in Panama sometime tomorrow, and most importantly, we should complete Region 1 this week (most likely on Saturday). This brings up a couple things as we close in on the first of many interim finish lines:

• Please ensure you have registered for Region 2 (so far, I see that @Dopey 2020, @GuinnessRunner, @kbenson13, @Krandor, and @opusone have registered)
• Continue to post mileage to Region 1 (make sure it does not say Region 2 at the top when you are posting miles), and please post every day this week as we don't want to go over the required mileage (i.e. we want to switch over to Region 2 the minute we complete 2,512 miles in Region 1, but this will take some coordination). In fact, as we get close to the end of Region 1, let's use the team conversation thread to keep each other updated on our running plans (again, we will most likely finish sometime on Saturday, so maybe we should start communicating closely on Friday, so we make sure we know what each other is about to do/post)

Based on the mileage posted as of midnight last night (end of the week), we have a total of 2,276 miles completed. The prediction model is showing that we should finish Region 1 on 10/16 (Friday), but given that the model assumes we run the same average daily mileage every day, we likely won't finish until 10/17 (Saturday) as our mileage is understandably weighted to the weekends. For the entire CRAW, the prediction model is right at 1 year 6 months based on our average daily team mileage (55.0 miles per day).

For those who do have mileage to post (through yesterday), please try to post before midnight tonight (Monday) such that you get full credit.

Week 6 Update

Well, we made it to Panama, the last country in Region 1! During the week, we accomplished the following:

Thanks for putting these together. They help me keep up and are interesting reading. Hoping to get my miles back up this week after a diminished week working out of town. I will get signed up for region two later today.

 

[camaker]

I registered today at lunch. On to Region 2!

Thanks for the update! I will definitely be registering for Region 2 - I just don't see the need to give them my money extra early.

 

[Baloo in MI]

All signed up for Region 2. Ready to run through South America!

 

[opusone]

Quick update: we just passed the halfway point in Panama and only have 176 miles left in Region 1!

 

[kbenson13]

I'm now checking our progress every day before entering my "miles". I don't want to mistakenly add miles when we've already entered Region 2!

 

[opusone]

Less than 75 miles remaining in Region 1!

 

[RunDopey]

Signed up for Region 2. Planning 7 mi today.

 

[opusone]

Less than 50 miles remaining in Region 1
