Wow! Go, Andrew, go!

It looks like he needs to finish by 2 pm for a new FKT, is that right?

A 7:05 start, apparently puts him at 2:02 PM for a course record, according to Eric

Has Delorme upgraded their aerial map abilities? I feel like I can zoom in for a much clearier picture than in the past. It is fun being able to literally see the trail and know where Andrew is at. It is looking quite promising that he will break the FKT. Go Andrew!

He'll bag Massive in 15 minutes tops, then down to the TH. What's the distance there ? Looks like he'll have around 3 hours and 45 minutes to get there.
