Though the race ended in controversy, it doesn’t take away from the fact that they both ran 244 miles in 244 hours.
After completing the 243rd mile, van Nuland said she put her “1” on the Google spreadsheet, and she recorded her mile run on Strava. It is unclear what happened to the “1”, but it did not show up on the sheet when McCafferty looked. According to van Nuland, Wilson updated the page, which he had to do every so often and that was the likely cause. McCafferty took a screenshot and sent it to Wilson and van Nuland, who, again, live together as boyfriend and girlfriend.
It is important to note that earlier in the race, runners who had Strava uploading delays were allowed to continue on as long as they could prove they completed their mile and enter their “1” later. Wilson told van Nuland what happened after finishing mile/hour 244. Van Nuland reportedly offered to give the win to McCafferty; however, McCafferty declined.
“It makes nobody have a real, good victory,” van Nuland said. “It makes me feel like we ran all these hours, and it’s for nothing. Nobody feels good.”
