Great job Andrew! We are going to head up to Longs TH tonight and hopefully meet him coming down.
re: tracks. I'm not the owner, but can see his entire track on my iphone by doing what Andrea said: view all.

Re: 2021 Centennials Speed Record Attempt
we are almost done!!!!
Andrew really hopes to finish before 6 AM! That would put him at 22 days and change (correct me if I’m wrong! But I don’t think I am…??)
He really doesn’t want to finish in 23 days, but he said he would be OK with it if he did ha ha! Can’t wait to get these last four finished!!

That's right Andrea. 6:36am tomorrow would be 23 days since he started so anytime before that would be 22 and change (and quite extraordinary).

Re: 2021 Centennials Speed Record Attempt
Andrew has finally started hitting his splits these last two days ha ha! We are headed to Meeker and Longs to finish this out! Our friend Max will be joining us!
I’ve stood on top of 19 mountains with Andrew on this adventure so far & I’m so excited to finish this project out standing on top of Longs with him! (Well of course then we have to descend Ha!)

And, then, there were two.
Good luck!

Re: 2021 Centennials Speed Record Attempt
Yet another awesome mission to watch unfold! Andrew and Andrea are amazing!
Re: 2021 Centennials Speed Record Attempt
In 2015, Andrew's split from Long's summit to finish line party was 2 hrs 50 minutes but he had snow to deal with. Not sure, but I think he'll be a bit faster tonight (after 22 days and change on the trail).

Re: 2021 Centennials Speed Record Attempt
They just topped out on Longs Peak, #100 of the Centennials. Just down to the finish line now.
Looks to be earlier than in 2015; wish I could be there.

Re: 2021 Centennials Speed Record Attempt
So they just summited Meeker and Longs in less than 3 1/2 hours?!?! 
After he climbed 100+ peaks in a few days? That is impressive..
