Jesse Carlsson hit the Kansas/Missouri line after 11d6h3m. In my calculation Mike Hall crossed this line after 10d22h57m. If I'm right, Jesse is now only 7 hours behind MH's record schedule.
Jesse traversed Kansas in 2d1h, which took Mike Hall 2d12h. So Jesse is catching up fast!!!

Cool! I got a call from him a earlier but it was garbled. I sent him a text and told him so hopefully he calls back at his next stop!

I'm in Marshfield, MO and tried getting pics of Jesse, but he stopped somewhere before he got to me and his spot was not showing him. It showed him at the Dairy Queen for over an hour but he wasn't there, it got too dark for photos, so I stopped looking for him. Anyway, he was actually about 8 hours behind the time of Mike Hall when I got pics of him last year at the same intersection.

Just did a quick calculation and reckon Jesse is about 16 hours behind Mike's pace from 2014.
I guess it will fluctuate according to where the comparison is made in relation to overnight stops etc.

Tom, thanks for tuning in and making your own calculation. I agree that the result will fluctuate with where the comparison is made relative to the overnight stops. If you compare two riders, the comparison will be least favorable for the one who has just had his night stop and most favorable for the one who is about to end the ride for that day. Just at this moment Jesse is in Eminence-MO and his total time now is 12d5h12m. At this point Mike Hall passed after 11d15h. So the virtual difference is about 14 h. However, Mike was ending his day in Ellington-MO, 26 miles after Eminence, whereas Jesse is only halfway in his regular 200-250 miles/day. So my best guess is that Jesse is now 10-12 hrs behind Mike. I admit that this guess may be biased by looking forward to a close race! Planning the overnight stops for a strong finish, not to mention the ferry at Cave-in-Rock, requires almost as much cunning as planning the pitstops in Formula-1! Mike Hall's official 2014 finish time is 17d16h17m, according to http://www.transambikerace.com/2014-results/ . This has only a minor effect on his estimated times for passing the state lines that I posted earlier. |

Pretty miserable for the guys going through Missouri yesterday and today. Torrential rain and flooding due to tropical storm Bill. Evan had to ride through most of the night in it to get to Marshfield, the only place with a motel to get out of the weather for like 100 miles on the route.

I really feel sorry for Jesse. The rain and storms in Missouri and Illinois have ruined his chances of setting a new record. He entered Kentucky after 14d3h. Mike Hall needed 12d23h. So the time lag has increased to about 28 hrs. I hope he stays healthy. The wind map on http://hint.fm/wind/ suggests that he has mostly a tailwind today. |

Although he was going strong and I was rooting for him getting a new record he was still quite a few hours behind before he hit the bad weather, perhaps he would have finished stronger though? Last years riders also had freezing weather in the first few passes (heat this year) then faced much stronger direct headwinds in Kansas too, the front runners were literally being stopped from pedaling and posting bemused videos of the conditions. The windmap still wasn't favorable this year but it was nowhere near the gails of 2014. So many different factors and condition variables, another to account for is that Jesse was able to stretch a bigger lead over the pack than mike had over Jason last year, motivation must play a huge part psychologically. Either way we are comparing 2 people who are undoubtedly incredible, resilient and awe inspiring endurance athletes! Amazing feats.

Jesse just entered Virginia after 16d8h. It took Mike Hall 15d5h to the KY/VA state line. The gap remains at about 27 hours. Judging from his latest route snap shots on www.instagram.com/dexterskidmore/ he is still in good spirits. Impressive! |
