Apparently the hard 57+ mile “day” (40 hours allowed) of Keir’s Sahara race is over. Here was yesterday’s GPS track. Our device which only reports every 1 hour shows 48 miles, but he really went 57 — this is because of the “as the crow flies” way we’re determining distance. Our vehicle tracking devices (vs. satellite based asset tracking devices) don’t have this issue — they are as accurate as an odometer.
Hard part done with the Sahara Race
Now it’s just 10 more miles to go — apparently they do this so most competitors can cross the finish line roughly at the same time. He’s still in 70th of 95 competitors. (125 started & 30 have had to leave the race)
Here is a total track of how far Keir’s gone, using the lightweight Satellite tracking device in his pack (with yesterday standing out):

Congratulations Keir!
Of course, my wife, kids, & I probably walked close to that long yesterday at Disney:
