Transcontinental Race No. 5 - TCR5 - #TCRN05 - 2017

Hippy in Jacomo ...

It's a bug in the Trackleader website. Bit technical but when there's no elevation chart the zoom buttons on the map don't work.
works: http://trackleaders.com/transam17
doesn't work: http://trackleaders.com/tour14er17

So it's not you, it's them :)

(And if you want to get really technical, you could fix it with uBlock by adding this as a filter: trackleaders.com###elecontrols )

Looks like Lenhard has about a 4 hour lead on Skinny, but has slept for 6 hours less

Dan massie hit the highest point in the race? 2509m on the Timmelsjoch

Yes, odd one with Ian To. Tracker didn't register for the last day all the way through the mountains.

This is the key to the latter stages of the race. Negative split for @skinny

Strong choice. Trimmelsjoch is a bit of a beast.

camillejmcmillan and jprobertson are taking some lovely pictures of the race.

Anybody remember how much Kristof Allegaert slept last year; wasn't it as little as Björn Lenhard?

Kristof was consistently 4 hours every night starting at 1-3amish

Which is roughly what Björn is doing now?

And he's warmed up nicely by winning in Ireland like this.

How do you do it on a laptop without a wheelie mouse then?

Try double tap but on the second tap keep your finger on the pad, then drag up or down. Worth a shot - it works on some devices/maps (not working on this mac).

I hadn't checked yet but I heard that on the first night (as in the night he got to CP1) he only slept for an hour.

Looking at Bjorn's TAW stats he seemed to go out pretty hard from the off and then settle into a more regular sleep pattern.

Sleep patterns of the top 5... Bjorn definitely sleeping less than the others.

Hopefully Ian To sorted out any tracker issues at CP2

I'd take away at least 25% from those times for actual sleep

It's interesting how far Ian To has managed to get considering his average speed (when his tracker was working) is showing as ~30% less than James et al...

I'm not sure if that is the case. It's a bit hard to tell with those graphs as Ian To's is on a different scale to the others. Don't think the difference is that much though.

Didn't spot the scale difference - Sorry Ian.

I wonder if skinny is taking a different route to Bjorn to CP3? He seems to be going further south into Italy as opposed to heading to the Gemano/Bordano pass.

Crazy what Bjorn is doing on such little sleep.

Yes, he's veered off a bit.

I assume he wants to cut out the mountainous bits of Austria by going through Hungary.
