It's interesting if you start plotting both of their daily averages and how they are evolving over time, highlights the difference in approach probably caused by the weather.
If you do a simple linear regression on the daily average, you get the equations;
Steve: y = 0.1071x + 167.71
Kurt: y = 0.0164x + 201.03
So basically Kurt has maintained his average daily miles from the start where as Steve is increasing his my 0.1 miles a day. if they were both to continue at current rates then Kurt would end up beating Steve by 70 miles!
However I think you can justifiably remove the first two weeks of the time period for both of them as the averages haven't really settled down by that point, this gives subtlety different equations;
Steve: y = 0.1153x + 182.31
Kurt: y = 0.0519x + 199.24
Again Kurt pretty much flat but Steve improving day by day. This analysis actually shows Steve beating Kurt by 2,258 miles.
I realise this is all pointless, but i'm bored...
