Cyrus, I used your standard GoPro HD headcam and carried it in a fanny pack instead of where the bottle would normally go. This allowed me to have it on my body and easily access it without ever having to fully stop.

Thanks,

Fabulous video and amazing achievement! I do have one equipment question: what was the camera you used of this fabulous footage and how did you carry it?

Just noticed something else from that data. It shows a stagnant time of almost five hours.

Only explanation would be that it is from my parents driving ahead of me and parking the car, with the garmin charging, waiting for me to catch up to them. Still not certain that was 5hrs but not sure where that gap arises from otherwise?

Hi Gary - Just saw a link on Facebook of your incredible accomplishment and I just had to check out your website. AMAZING. You were such an inspiration to me when we all lived in Whistler...I would never have done the relays or captained the Sun Run team without your awesome and encouraging attitude. Small potatoes compared to what you have accomplished, but huge for someone like me that's built more for comfort than speed!! So glad you are doing incredibly well & are happy. Just wanted to drop you a note to thank you for being such an inspiration.

Haha, also ignore the BEST PACE mile as that was when my folks were able to drive ahead of me through a small town and locate the next trail head for me.

That's a great question and I was wondering if...

2012-01-10T13:02:26.281-08:00

That's a great question and I was wondering if anyone would notice that.

As you saw I could intersect my folks on average every 3-5 hours with the longest gap being over 7 hours.

Whenever I saw them and they could drive alongside of just ahead of me we plugged the garmin into the car charger. Worked like a charm!

Not sure if this link will work but if so this is the file from that day. Not sure why it defaults to miles while sharing as it's in kilometers on my personal page.

just curious but how did your garmin last so long and did you ever post the data anywhere (if not can you post a link)? would be cool to see the data.
