going overboard
Phew, I'm glad I'm not represented on that graph
Slow and steady wins the race
How do you keen cachers find the time to stop and smell the roses?

Give it a couple of days for the logs to filter through and this should plot an interesting route!

Okay. Who's going to be brave enough to back me up here.
24 hours
101 caches
=
14mins 20 secs per cache.
That allows no time for driving between, sustenance, fueling vehicles if required, a loo break.
It's simply not achievable if you actually have to search for each cache.
If you had one cache that took you ten minutes over the average you'd have to eagle the next in 4 mins to get back on track.
Of course if you claim logs on caches that you actually replaced as they are missing in action, muggled etc it makes it somewhat easier GCM3JN
A legitimate claim should be based on an actual search for all intact, logable caches, without a tour guide, and all team members for the attempt present at each find.
Ready with open mind for an adequate explanation of how this was achieved - and flame retardant overalls on.
