2 things: he can sleep in the RV and he can travel as he races. Find a lake, swim 3800M and bike 112 + run a marathon towards the next state line. I think the logistics get a lot less complicated once you hit the continental 48. Mind you I still think he is crazy!
Some of these state to state drives could be extremely long.
Physically, he can probably do 50/50 in the same spot over 14h each. (I'm not gonna go over the mental strain that would be).
But like said, 14h + driving + sleeping + logistics + eating + whatever... One mishap and the whole thing will get a lot more stressful. RV breaks down, etc...
I say 20 and not because of fitness, but simply because some travel plans will screw up.
His quest starts tomorrow.
I posted the below in another thread a few months ago. His logistics early on are incredible.
"On the 4th (PDX) and 5th (Santa Cruz) legs there is less than zero margin of error. With a 11 hr drive in an RV, you are not cruising at 70-80 mph. Granted he does not have to adhere to the traditional 7am start, but the ripple effect could be very difficult to overcome if he is delayed that early on in this."
