Comments on: Hell on $5 a Day - Chapter 15 http://www.brainhandles.com/hell-on-5/hell-on-5-a-day-chapter-15 Whatever's tugging at my brain handles Mon, 26 Jul 2010 20:50:12 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3951 By: Greg Bulmash http://www.brainhandles.com/hell-on-5/hell-on-5-a-day-chapter-15/comment-page-1#comment-7850 Greg Bulmash Fri, 23 Jan 2009 21:31:50 +0000 http://www.brainhandles.com/?p=816#comment-7850 They're both running along diagonals that point toward the center, so once you hit the third ring, Alain and George could hump the 1.5 mile horizontal difference in about 15 minutes if there are no major obstacles. As for the 2 miles back, it would take Kurt and Vinnie 40 minutes to make up the distance at 3 miles per hour. I don't know if you'e ever set a treadmill to 3 miles per hour, but that's a pretty good clip. Even with Vinnie behind Kurt and pushing, they're fighting that wind and taking periodic rest stops because it's hard going. So figure Alain's got a bare minimum of 25 minutes for a rest break, possibly significantly more.
