After five days of hitting the ground running, the Mashable team at CES 2013 can finally rest. The Las Vegas convention is over, and the Mashable staff in attendance have collectively covered hundreds of miles. We tracked their progress using Nike+ FuelBands and can now deliver the final results:
Our champion was videographer Evan Engel, whose lead from day one was never overtaken by the rest of the team. Heavy video equipment in hand, he racked up over 27 miles in five days, further than the standard marathon distance of 26.2 miles. Second-place finisher Samantha Murphy also traveled further than a marathon, completing 26.7 miles. But it was photo editor Nina Frazier who put in the most hours, leaving the rest of the team in the dust with more than 74 hours total activity—even more impressive considering she was carrying about 65 pounds of gear with her.
Evan and Mashable Editor-in-Chief Lance Ulanoff, who finished fifth overall, caught up with illusionist David Blaine on the last day of CES:

On day five, reporter Emily Price stopped by Canon to see their new cameras and checked out some Samsung UHD TVs with Lifestyle editor Andrea Smith, who finished third in the overall competition. Andrea hit a personal best on day five, reaching a total of 6.5 miles total. Towards the end of day five, Emily was disturbed by the tableau of "booth babes" in one product's display. Her outraged reaction on Twitter received over 700 retweets.

Samantha and Nina spent their last day with Tim Tebow and his new line of headphones. One of the models is called the "Jet," which happens to be almost identical to the name of the football team for which Tebow plays. However, the player claims the name could also apply to people traveling cross-country.
Finally, tech editor Pete Pachal spent some time in front of the camera himself on day five, appearing on Fox News Live to talk about his experience at CES.

Samantha completed the most miles in a single day, covering 8 miles on day four. The longest active day overall was Nina's 16 hours and 20 minutes on day three.
