Exactly. The travel on top of everything is brutal. I hate commuting 25min to work... let alone a new state each day.
I am following this very peripherally, basically via ST so I have not looked a the logistics at all.
If he does each one point to point, he can have a big chunk of the commute to the next state done under his own power. Basically 138 miles of "racing" toward the next state. His support crew can pick him up in the RV at the end of the "marathon" and he crashes out while they drive him toward the next state. He gets over the border and sleeps until it's time to start again.
Might help a little bit..... I'm sure that someone undertaking something this massive has looked at doing things like that.
If he could do something like this, would he wind up insanely fit or
would he wind up a broken down shell of his former self? I guess we have to wait and find out.
I'd bet he'll end up being a broken-down shell. I would venture to guess that, if indeed he ever even does another iron race after this series, he'll be at least an hour slower than his pre-50 PR, assuming equal difficulty of the races, of course. He will prob never feel the same after this extreme bout of over-training.
