Spot tracker not updating

It seems my Spot tracker is not updating.
This started on Sunday . Not a battery problem as they were brand new.
Sunday was also my birthday. Thanks for all your messages, sorry just too many to respond to! I ran my birthday in kilometres all 57 of them! I know many American runners that do this in miles but as they age they miraculously discover the wisdom of kilometers

Are there any 80 year old sprinters out there? Zero to 80 METRES in how many seconds!
I should reach or be close to Zanjan today.
Sorry for this. I hope its a glitch.

I spent the night in a lovely sandy culvert under the road for it looked like it was going to rain. A lovely day

Tony–guess I will have to go out and run 65 meters next September—–hahaha—-hey congrats–wow 57 years and running around the world–unbelievable!!!—-I was just looking at the map–are you planning on running 32 all the way to Turkey—I ask because route 2, a main hi way traverses some really really desolate terrain, where as route 32 seems to be bordered nearly all the way by agricultural areas-=-hence greenery–hence water etc etc–anyway–just wondered.
OK man good running–Greg

About Tony

I have always considered myself to be an average runner. In school, I was even bullied for I was a sports wimp. Through hard work, dedication, perseverance, self-belief and a strong mind I succeeded in not only running around the world but breaking four ultra running world records during my competitive career. Having previously cycled around the world I didn't start running until I was almost 30. Then I had a dream of running around the world. For many reasons, I waited for over 20 years. One reason was to establish my pedigree as an endurance athlete. I started and finished my world run as the current World Record-Holder for 48 Hours Indoor Track 426 kilometres (265 miles), a record I have held since 2007. I also broke and still hold the World Record for 48 hours on a Treadmill 405 kilometres (251 miles) in 2008. When I retired from competition, more pleasing than any of my world, European or Irish records I had the respect of my fellow athletes from all over the world - in my opinion, sports greatest reward - an achievement I am most proud of. Then I finally put myself out to pasture, to live my ultimate dream to run around the world! This blog was written on the road while I struggled to find places to sleep and to recover from running an average of 43.3 kilometres or 27 miles per day for 1,165 road days. There were many nights I typed this blog on a smart phone, so fatigued my eyes closed. Many journalists and endurance athletes have referred to my world run as the most difficult endurance challenge ever attempted. During my expedition I rarely had any support vehicles, running mostly with a backpack. In the more desolate areas I pushed my gear, food and water in a cart which I called Nirvana, then I sent her on ahead to run with my backpack once again over altitudes of almost 5,000 metres in the Andes. I stayed in remote villages where many people had never seen a white person before. I literally met the most wonderful people of this world in their own backyard and share many of those amazing experiences in this blog. My run around the world took 4 years. There were no short cuts, I ran every single metre on the road while seeking out the most comprehensive route across 41 countries, 5 continents, I used 50 pair of running shoes and my final footstep of the run was exactly 50,000 kilometres, (almost 31,000 miles) I eventually finished this tongue in cheek named world jog where I started, at the finish line of my city marathon. I started my global run with the Dublin Marathon on October 25th 2010 and finished with the Dublin Marathon on October 27th 2014 at 3 05pm! Thank you for your support, I hope you can share my unique way of seeing the world, the ultimate endurance challenge! Read more...
