2021 Centennials Speed Record Attempt

[Jim Davies]

I'm also not seeing some of the tracks from the San Juans, but I notice that if I click on the "Centennials 2021" collection, there are three separate tracks, and the last two have little icons that popup with "track size warning" next to them. Maybe if a single track gets too big, nobody but the owner can see the whole thing.

I don't mean to brag, but I, too, held a 1.24 mph pace on Crystal last Sunday

(with a good night's sleep, no injuries and precisely zero centennials climbed in the previous 6, 12, 24, 48 or 72 hours....details!)

Jim - you may be right with the track and Garmin being overloaded. I *briefly* saw the minute by minute breadcrumbs but now am back to the 10' intervals.

At first I thought that's the first time I've noticed Andrew went to the bathroom with the tracker recording it -- then realized he was dropping down far enough to make sure the climb was 3,000'. Its all in the details!

I've noticed the missing tracks as well; I suspect it'll all get downloaded after he's done.

If not, being a serious nerd, I've replicated his basic lines throughout the whole thing in Caltopo to estimate his mileage and gain/loss for the stats I've posted daily. If there's any trouble with the tracks in Andrew's Delorme, I'll post all the segments I've created.

I'm stuck in Washington; otherwise, I'd be planning on a departure time to the Longs TH for a hike to a party. No Cave Dogs this time but what about Rob/Justin...?

OK, this is downright ridiculous. He just hit the summit of Silverheels from CO 9 "trailhead" in 1:47 gaining about 3200' in the process.

"Oh, I can do that" you (I) say... Uh, think again.

That's after 21 1/2 days on the trail, hiking 438 miles with a gain of 229,500'. I can't do that.

Way to go Andrew. Finish strong and safe!

I did Silverheels last summer, just pulled my stats out of curiosity. My round trip time was 3:58, probably 2:30 up, 1:30 down. And I had fresh legs. And supposedly I’m sorta fast.

1:52 down with a bum knee.

Only 7 Front Range Centennials remain:

Bierstadt/Evans
Torreys/Grays/Edwards
Meeker/Longs

I'll be he gets an early start from below Guanella Pass. Could be another late finish on Longs.

We just finished hiking Silverheels, we had a good time. And got to see a great sunset. Andrew’s knee is feeling good, but he did fall flat tripping over another rock and almost hurt himself bad. Could have been a disaster, but we sat while he moaned for a minute, and we were back on our way.

Tomorrow is G&T /Edwards, he will probably do those early, maybe 2 am depending, then

I’ll finish off the remaining 4 with him. Probably late night early morning finish on Longs. Let’s get this done!!!!

So, you're tellin' me I hike just like Andrew Hamilton.

Me 2

I've got to leave my computer so I'll post these assuming he tops Edwards by 6:36 am (he just reached Grays' summit at 5:50am):

Day 22 ending this morning at 6:36 am, he reached the summit of 9 Centennials (his biggest day in terms of summit count) and stands at 96 Centennials (plus #'s 101, 102 and 103). Summits: Quandary, Fletcher, Atlantic, Pacific, Crystal, Silverheels, Torreys, Grays, Edwards. And he's hauling (3.74 mph just after Grays summit). Good luck with the last 4.
