Record achieved! 7 hours, 10 minutes and 10 seconds 10 minutes and 25 seconds quicker than the current record
"Standing by for a few minutes" four stops away from the finish line. Anxiety
Huge instant transfer at south station as I was able to get right back on a braintree train going south. Final train of the day
2 minutes until north bound red line and then turn around at south station to braintree
Okay turn of fortune, trolley left 6 mins early
Watched the trolley pull away. Bad vibes rn
Going to be so close again with the bus and the trolley connection. Penalty would be another 9 minutes
Finally en route, still a chance to get the record
So so so close, ran after the 31 and was denied twice by the bus driver to get on as he wasnt at a stop. Have ti wait for the 10:39
10:24 bus looking potentially tight tight tight, there is a 10:39 also on time as of now which wouldnt be the end of the world. Pace had an 8 minute buffer already built in for while potential bus wait time
Instant transfer again at wonderland prevents a 10 minute wait for the next train headed back down to bowdoin. Next is connecting back up with the orange line at state to get down to forest hills hopefully in time for the 10:24am bus 31 to mattapan. On pace.
Instant transfer at oak grove, heard the departure bell for the train opposite my incoming one as the doors opened. Back down past north station to Haymarket for hopefully the final sprint of the run over to bowdoin before riding the blue line out and back
Done with the green line, onto oak grove. Train from union to north station went agonizingly slow from science museum to north station resulting in 2 missed northbound oak grove trains
.6 mile sprint from a slow train into east somerville sees me just getting a connection. On pace. Orange line north bound via north station next
View from the bus. Unfortunately watched a green line leave medford tufts so waiting but still a boon
Another massive moment, just caught the 96 bus to medford tufts from Davis by 30 seconds! Saves 4 minutes and 1 mile of running
Massive 15 second transfer at park and successfully on to alewife
Starting at 5am hasnt quite had the affect I had hoped thus far. Its been great for train times but in turn wait times simply havent worked out well. Still plenty close to pace and just need a lucky transfer here and there
Got lucky for saving energy purposes and got the outbound heath st train near Brookline Village. Less sprint but still a 5 minute wait at heath st. And 5 minutes-ish behind in general. Next is heath to park, park to alewife, alewife back to davis, and then sprint or bus to medford tufts
Going to sprint for a 715 heath st train from Brookline Village. Hoping I can run it in less than 7 minutes, should be able to
At kenmore waiting to back track the D line a few stops to run to heath st and finish out green line west branches
As we near the end of the B line, I am 5ish minutes behind which is insane given how quick its going
Massive sprint to boston college from cleveland circles sees me ahead of schedule inbound on a B train at south street
Green line D west done in not the best time but also not the worst. 9 minute wait at hynes to head out to Cleveland circle. Would have much preferred boston college but every minute counts. This might set up a 1 mile run from Cleveland circle to boston college
Train operating again decent progress, chestnut hills
4 stops in and the train hits a random emergency brake between Eliot and Newton highlands. They are restarting the train at Newton Highlands. Hopefully just 1 minute delay
