‘s Race Across the USA

Day 27: Run It Fast’s Race Across the USA -Ice, Ice Baby

Run It Fast’s Race Across the USA had an epic finish on Day 27 for Eli’s P.R. Ice as they became our 11th team to finish this epic adventure on the Santa Monica Pier.

Needing 208 miles to finish, many pundits thought it might take two more days. However, Eli’s Ice Dream Machine reached the finish by early afternoon with monster performances from nearly everyone on the team’s final day, none bigger than Abbi Auger’s 62.00 mile day that insured their Saturday finish.

Eli’s finished in 26 Days, 16 Hours, 48 Minutes. They were led by Francesca Muccini’s 589.32 miles and team captain Melissa Price’s 392.62 miles.

Congrats to Melissa and Eli’s P.R. Ice.

Smelling the ocean air, Peers One had a massive day with 126.14 miles to get within four miles of Eli’s P.R. Ice. The heat is on The Ice with only 208 miles to the finish. They were led on the day by Wayne McComb with a big 28.34 miles. Steve Durbin added a hefty marathon of his own miles, as team captain Rich Peers covered 23.90 miles.

It’s going to be an exciting finish. Can the tired legs of P-1 find enough miles in them quick enough to catch Eli’s and get to the pier before them? We are going to find out.

Steve Acciarito Day 8 Peak Performer Run It Fast Race Across the USA

Day 8: Run It Fast’s Race Across the USA – Lt. Dan Taylor

Run It Fast’s ‘Race Across the USA‘ entered week two with all four teams pushing their limits just as they have for eight days now. Week 2 started, like week 1, did with the Suzy Michelson Team putting down a very strong day, almost an exact replica of their day 1. A week ago they started the race with 188.97 miles and today landed on 188.23. That’s impressive! Our middle two teams, Jeffrey Price Team and Charlie Taylor Team, had nearly identical performances today. JPT maintains a healthy lead over 3rd and a good ways behind the SMT for first. The Hope Shull Team fell back asleep today failing to break 100 mi/day with just 96.90

Day 8 Mileage Results of the Race Across the USA

  • Suzy Michelson Team – 188.23 miles (12.55 mi/runner)
  • Jeffrey Price Team – 147.82 miles (9.85 mi/runner)
  • Charlie Taylor Team – 145.32 miles (9.69 mi/runner)
  • Hope Shull Team – 96.90 miles (6.46 mi/runner)

RIF’s Race Across the USA Overall Standings 

  1. Suzy Michelson Team – 1,520.36 miles (190.05/day, 52.3% completed)
  2. Jeffrey Price Team – 1,329.30  miles (166.16 mi/day, 45.7% completed)
  3. Charlie Taylor Team – 1,157.99 miles (144.75 mi/day, 39.8% completed)
  4. Hope Shull Team – 1,011.23 miles (126.40 mi/day, 34.8% completed)

The four teams are nearly residing in four separate states. The Suzy Michelson Team, currently in 1st place, is literally a few hundred feet from crossing into Arkansas. They likely would have if the Cherokee Casino had not been directly on their route. Anthony Ohrey and Leslie Studtmann talked team captain Shane Tucker into stopping for some Blackjack. Their next runner to take the baton will run them into the Razorback State.

The Jeffrey Price Team is in Yukon, Oklahoma, just short of Oklahoma City, currently in 2nd place. The third place Charlie Taylor Team is currently in McLean, Texas in hope of that ‘American Pie,’ but all they’ve found there is Devil’s Rope Musuem. The Hope Shull Team is still in New Mexico, only two states behind The Suzys, are holed up at the Russell’s Truck Stop. They should finally cross into Texas tomorrow morning.
