Exceptions to everything. But TABR is 4250 miles, 17 days 16h is Mike's record. That kind of time racing needs consistent sleep to keep strong.
Supported races are different, with support you can push yourself harder.

Maybe, but Mike didn't get consistent sleep, once he hit the hilly east he was napping in the day to avoid the heat. I think everyone is different and it's about how far you can push towards the end of such a sustained effort. Some people can dig deeper than others.
Mike's record run at TD last year didn't have very much sleep!

Does consistent sleep = success in trans con races in your opinion? Are their any acceptions to this?
