Crewing FAQ As of July 17 at 13:00 -- Laz is 197 miles behind the Original Plan (7.5 days).
See Guestimates column for a realistic forecast of Laz's location.
http://vacationwithoutacar.com/
2
Revised schedule is based on first 65 days @ 26.2 miles/day (yes, averaging a marathon a day). I think it's realistic that this pace will continue.
