I believe a little under 7 miles?

Something tells me he won't be stopping on the summit of Massive, calling it good, and beginning the celebration. ](*,)

GO ANDREW GO !

On your next cool record breaking attempt, I am requesting a drone flyover with a live feed, so all us mere mortals can be entertained.

Keeping fingers crossed that he can descend at least 2mph if he was able to ascend over 2000ft per hour.

Unbelievable once again. Keep it up Andrew!

Why stop at the hatchery? Just keep on going to Holy Cross for a Sawatch thru hike. There was a group of guys serving up margs and candy at the East Cross Creek camping area on Saturday afternoon. If that is what he needs for motivation, maybe they're still there.

WOW....Just WOW!! This just blows me away. What a summer for him. Thanks for taking us along, again. Pretty much speechless.

I have to disagree with you about the MPH comment. It's all about MPH. Andrew has just figured out how to shave a ton of miles off of this attempt. From what I can tell most of these attempts/finishes come in around 85-100 total miles. He's going to be at around 70ish miles?. So for the "other" guys.... 90 miles in 60 hours is 1.5MPH. But he's figured out a shorter route which equals a little slower pace. That's what makes him Andrew. He's intelligent about it and has way more ability than should be humanely possible :-D Wish he's share some of it :lol:

So a friend and I just did Shavano on Sunday. We left the trail head at 6:50 AM, and shortly after we started someone came flying by us. I somewhat jokingly said "doesn't that kind of look like Andrew Hamilton??" Sure enough, had to have been him with that timing. Damn. Had I known I would have taken a blurry picture of him blowing past us. My brush with fame, had I only known at the time. :)

Nice job Andrew!!!

Amazing as with last record run. On the distance, his delorme is set for 30 minute intervals versus 10 when he set FKT for 14ers. That will make distance and elevation gain appear smaller. Go get it Andrew.
