    I am starting to think this trainer is really delusional or dealing with some actual mental issues. Can anyone answer me as to why it would take 18hours (he claims) to go from Cincy to Cedar Rapids which by my calculations should be around 600 max. I very well could be missing something here but of course he is not willing or capable of explaining the hours to miles ratio he is claiming.

    8 hours driving, 10 hour break would be my best guess.

    You know that mish-mash of Interstates through Indianapolis.....might have a propensity to get confused and circle a few times!

    But I-74 up to I-80 can get to be tricky to negotiate!

    Besides....with 3 pedals on the floor...which one do you use first?

    Well that part I get but there is no reason for the 10 hour break when we both have driving time....but I will side with you guys since nothing else even remotely makes sense to me.

    Mademoiselle, one look at your picture and I would suspect he is taking the scenic route.

    8 drive then 10 break?

    More like 4 drive, 10 break, 4 drive!

    Can't be running too hard.....might need another break between the 4s!
