“Where’s Megan in the Comrades?” (find_person, then where_is)

I found 20+ Megans in the Comrades. Here are the 5 most likely:

1. Megan N. (livedot.me/megan), km 58, 6:20 /km, 18 min behind goal

2. Megan B., km 61, 5:58 /km

3. Megan N., km 66, 5:32 /km

…

Megan N. is at km 58 (mile 36) of 90 km (56 mi) in the Comrades, 18 minutes behind the goal (9:00:00). Running at 6:20 /km (10:12 /mi). Where Megan is: 31°C (88°F), calm air at 5 km/h (3 mph), rated very hard (heat stress Extreme). The road ahead (km 57–69) rates Tough: Heat stress Extreme from km 57 (WBGT up to 32°) · Weather costs about 9 min (heat and humidity, from km 57). At this pace Megan finishes around 11:43 race time.
