I agree with Wowsa that, for Kurt, this is a challenge that happened to come up on the radar rather than a lifelong ambition. But you can't argue with the effectiveness of his campaign! Steve, I think, has learned a good deal form Kurt's approach (for the concurrent attempt) and appears to be applying the same principle of doing just a little more than a Standard Godwin as an average, rather than looking for repeated summer days of 300+ miles. Miles' attempt I just don't get; he's claiming to be 'on WR pace' but is something like 7500 miles off it. I can't take him seriously in this context, even though his mileage is way beyond anything I could achieve!
