1000 miles on shoes is crazy. Paul may have the blog record at over 1500.

Notice the times. It looks like there were significant calculations involved. Did he predict a race time for you?

From JG on Sat, Mar 02, 2013 at 21:07:46 from 174.49.78.66

Good luck Joe!

Bam was spot on, missed Allie by 2 seconds, Jake by less than a minute, & Riley by less than 2 minutes!

No pressure, but I am thinking he has you around 1:19 ish :)

I can't see on the website how to track your progress. And now I have to go to church! I know you are doing great, Joe. I look forward to reading about it later.

From allie on Sun, Mar 03, 2013 at 08:25:12 from 64.134.146.227

i think bam is an inter-dimensional wizard.

From JG on Sun, Mar 03, 2013 at 10:46:26 from 174.49.78.66

I agree Allie, but I am disappointed he did not use his powers to light a fire under you in the last 50 yards to get that 2 seconds! :)

Btw, great race!

From Jake K on Sun, Mar 03, 2013 at 13:37:18 from 174.235.192.207

Those predictions are remarkable!

From RileyCook on Tue, Mar 05, 2013 at 13:09:34 from 132.3.57.78

Yeah those are pretty good predictions. Mine is off by 2 minutes but hey one of those minutes I was stopped, so still pretty close.

I like how precise they are...to the exact second.
