Our Superbowl hahah. This is awesome.
Didn't realize Jefe was on a single speed! He's on pace for right around 2 days.
Historical night on the AZT!
Enjoy it all!

Looks like two long standing 300 records will fall tonight. The SS record is Neil Stitzer's 2d 6h 23m (2016) Jefe hits the 2d mark at 2a tonight. Assuming Timon hits Picketpost before 10:20p, he'll break the 40 hour mark....astounding!!!

Received a text from Timon, 6:30a start, 9:22p finish. So, 38h 52m (1d 14h 52m)

💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼 He?s ripping out there. Hope that time he lost early in the ride won?t cost him a sub 2 day ride. I think it?ll be close. Get it Jefe! |

Ain't that the truth, I would love to see him snag a sub 2!!! |

For all you time split data geeks (like me) I created a Google doc from the Trackleaders leaderboard grid going back to 2010. Makes it a little easier to find what you're looking for. Link to the file is here: Google Doc AZTR Time Splits It's also linked on the AZTR website on the Results page, down with the Records. |

Thank you John! This is great. I?ve constantly got multiple tabs open from previous years comparing splits, toggling back and forth between dot refresh?s. Awesome finish Jefe! fastest SS time! So close to that elusive sub 2 day mark. Those navigational missteps at the beginning may have been the difference. Great to see him back in form. Amazing effort. |

Congrats Jefe! Sorry about the bouncy spot, must be infuriating to watch. It's a newer Spot GenX, set to 10min intervals to conserve some battery. Had similar issues last fall with it not updating as fast as others do. Sounds like everyone was getting hour updates, not 10mins. I have it in my back middle jersey pocket. Maybe that's the issue? and it gets blocked by my body too much? I don't know. I'll try to mount it on the bike next time away from me and see if that helps. Open to suggestions. The track (AZT300 2021 v6) that I downloaded from https://aztrail.home.blog/route-gpx/ is corrupt or something when uploaded to my Garmin etrex 30x. Don't know how I stupidly didn't notice it until I was out there, but it only goes from parker canyon lake to 77 miles, right before the I-10 crossing. I re-downloaded and imported the file this morning to make sure it wasn't a one-off bad export/import before, and it did the same thing. The simplified 10k version has the entire 277 miles. Lesson learned on previewing the whole course on my device beforehand and/or having multiple track files on the device. Fortunately had my phone as a gps backup and was able to use trackleaders/mtbproject and a call to the girlfriend to make sure I didn't miss anything. |

All this and crushing the course record amazing. Congrats to you and Jefe. The bouncy spot kept thing interesting, sometimes it's the anticipation that makes things exciting. |

Wow, was a blast watching you kill it out there, congrats! I will say that yeah having it in your jersey pocket is probably a contributing factor - OR WAS IT THE SPEED??!! lol. I attach mine to my shoulder strap of my pack near the top so the top faces the sky. Never had any issues doing that. And as you also got to learn, the eTrex family will cut off anything over 10k points, so the simplified versions are what to use and why they are provided. I can't believe you dealt with that logistical issue while riding such a fast pace. Congrats again! |

Oh, lol....oops. Guess it was my fault in the end. You'd think they'd warn you when you open it like "hey, we're gonna cut off all the important stuff once you're well established out in the middle of nowhere, are you sure you want us to cull this file?' . I don't like wearing packs for longer distances, creates extra hand fatigue. Will have to rig it to handlebars or seat bag I suppose. My bigger revelate bag has a nice spot for it, but this smaller one didn't. Looking back at the trackleaders history it'll be consistent at 10m intervals, and then miss an hour chunk, then a handful of 10m hits, then miss an hour+. Weird. |

Kept things interesting, hitting refresh non stop!
Yeah that 10,000 point thing can be a tough lesson learned. Didn?t seem to impact your speed, though I?m sure it was stressful.
Huge congrats Timon on a historic ride, particularly for a rookie run. Be curious your thoughts of where, if anywhere you could make improvements on this already superhuman effort now that you know the course front to end.
Enjoy the downtime and celebrate your achievement. Great viewing for us all on here that?s for sure.
Well done!

Re: the track, one other item I'll add is, the reason there are two versions (full file & 10k version) is some people like the full resolution of the full track, but then they split it into a few separate 10k tracks with that resolution. I tend to just use the 10k version as it has enough resolution for me. I've been caught a few times with a truncated track, oops.

Good to see all the action going on the AZT. Congrats Jefe, and Timon. And John your Oracle Ridge pictures are impressive. Glad we are getting back on track with bikepacking adventures. Glad to have recent snows in N. Az. It will dry up and heat up soon enough.

Finish times have been updated for the 300 for everyone who has toed the line so far. You'll notice Timon's record time has an * on it. We have been in contact this morning and he is aware that he missed ~2 miles of trail near the Boulders/Ripsey transition, aka Cougar Hill. It falls under the 0 - 1% category for missed route, so the record stands with the noted omission.
