Circumpolar Race Around the World (CRAW)

[camaker]

So close to the Mexico/Guatemala border... less than 18 miles by my calculation. Anybody still need to post some miles for today (or yesterday)?

I’m afraid I’m done for the day. Should be good for 6-9 more tomorrow, depending on how work goes.

I'm behind on entering results (sorry). All caught up now.

With @Krandor's miles posted, we have now completed Mexico (see the new badge)...


Now, we are only ~86 miles from getting our Region 1 halfway badge! I expect we should get it by the end of Thursday.

We will only be in Guatemala for about 205 miles. Enjoy!

Also, just wanted to make sure folks saw that the t-shirt is available for order, if interested: https://craw.racing/shop

Buying one!

 

[kbenson13]

Bought one too! And we're squarely in Guatemala now. The road we're on even has a shoulder and people walking on it! We've got both company and some semblance of safety!

I love the design, unfortunately I don’t get along well with white shirts! Maybe they’ll offer it in additional colors as the race rolls along.

I'm not sure if I'll buy a t-shirt or one of the bib tank tops. The same map design, but you can put your name and team name on the tanks. I would probably get more use out of the tank top than the t-shirt, but either way I agree with @camaker in that I wish they weren't white.

Good morning, all! Only 26 miles to the halfway point of Region 1.

 

[Dopey 2020]

saw this first thing this AM!

 

[opusone]

We only have about 36 miles left in Guatemala... might cross the border into El Salvador today!

 

[opusone]

Made it through Guatemala...



Now let's enjoy El Salvador!

Week 4 Update

Well, week 4 was a big week for us. We received our first badges as we completed all the following:

• Completed our very long run through Mexico (on Tuesday)
• Passed the halfway point of Region 1 (on Thursday)
• Completed our run through Guatemala (on Saturday)

As we start this week, we only have 55 miles left in El Salvador before entering into Honduras for a brief 81 mile jog. Then, it's on to Nicaragua, and we will probably end the week in Costa Rica.

Based on the mileage posted as of midnight last night (end of the week), we have a total of 1,498 miles completed. The two prediction models are now aligned that we should finish Region 1 on 10/16. For the entire CRAW, the prediction model has decreased to just under 1 year 6 months based on our average daily team mileage (55.5 miles per day).

As always, if anybody hasn't posted mileage for this past week (through yesterday), you have until midnight tonight (Monday) before this past week is locked.

Thanks for the weekly summary!

We are really making tracks! It's fun to see the mileage climb so fast with all of us contributing.

What is the protocol for continuing on to Region 2? I know we can potentially change team members, but what is the turnaround like? I guess some of those really fast teams must already be on Region 2.

What is the protocol for continuing on to Region 2? I know we can potentially change team members, but what is the turnaround like? I guess some of those really fast teams must already be on Region 2.

So, I very much appreciate your motivation while we are still 1,000 miles away from the end of Region 1. They have a How to: Signing for Region 2 post on the CRAW website that walks you through how to register for Region 2 (please note that you will want to get your bib number so that you can provide it during Region 2 registration). We can register for Region 2 prior to finishing Region 1, but I think we should wait until closer to the end such that nobody accidentally posts miles for Region 2 instead of Region 1.

We do need to be careful as we get close to the end of Region 1 as any excess miles posted to Region 1 are lost and will not count toward Region 2. We'll just have to stay in close contact (probably via this thread) to make sure we don't all post miles at the same time towards the end. There are two questions as part of their FAQs that discuss this:



Yes, the top team is already 83% done with Region 2. Their top mileage runner has already run and walked a total of 1,010 miles since September 1st. That's an average of over 37 miles per day... and just to make us all look forward to our future years, he is 70 years old.

Lol. He must be retired - that's the only way he'd have time to put in all those miles!

And just like that we made it through El Salvador...



Don't blink or you will miss our time in Honduras!

 

[Baloo in MI]

We have slipped into the 120’s! Not that I am competitive are anything but we are slowing climbing up the ranks. Just a few weeks ago we were in the 150’s. Good fun!

 

[PrincessMickey]

Your team may be faster than my team but we found the beer truck!

 

[opusone]

Just crossed the halfway point in Honduras. We will likely complete Honduras by the end of today or early tomorrow.
