Yearly Distance Record Attempt (Tommy Godwin - 75,065mi/120,000k)

no, yo.. ect

;)

Just seen this update from Kurt... yikes.. :(

""This afternoon - my HR spike up over 210 and wouldn't come back down below 170 after 30 minutes so against my will, Alicia made me ride over to the urgent care. At urgent care my HR was 65 but garmin was recording 170. The top half of my heart was beating at 170 and the bottom half was beating at 65. So they hooked me up to an EKG and determined I was in Atrial Fibrillation and was sent over to the Heart Hospital. By the time I got to the Heart Hospital my heart was beating normally again. They took blood and determined my thyroid is wack and that I was dehydrated. I now wear a live tracking heart rate monitor and have an appointment with a cardiologist. No restriction on my activities for now. May sleep in tomorrow or may ride not sure how I'm feeling about all this. It was epic enough before - I don't need anything else to make this more challenging.."

that's bad news for kurt

A few days ago I updated https://goo.gl/RBHtiS with the latest data from the UMCA, and updated the stats on it a little to try and show what's needed by each of the riders to break the record.

If/when Kurt goes past Tommy's distance, it should then show what's needed to go past Kurt at that point.

I've also turned comments on the sheet on, so if anyone wants to ask something, correct something, or get me to add in something they think I've missed, poke me here or on the sheet itself.

Kurt seems to be really struggling at the moment. Rest day today. Still ahead of schedule - you have to think he`ll make it, but cant afford many more days off

It's as much a battle of self motivation as competition with others. perhaps KS needs to be under the pinch to push himself

Right, in an effort to get some more understandable bits about targets out there, I've added a page on https://goo.gl/RBHtiS comparing the challengers to an idealised record rider, hitting the 205.7 miles per day needed to tip over the current record. This is (I think) directly comparable with what jo from yacf is calling the distance over/under World Record Pace.

Kurt's couple of slow days have pushed his required miles per day back over 200.

GO STEVE!

Have ordered a copy of this: https://www.v-publishing.co.uk/books/categories/cycling/the-year.html

Will review once it's received (not due for another week or so) and I've read it.

go on steve. Couple of big days. How he "recovers" over the next few days is key

I knew those double fry-ups were a bad idea.

I'm sure there's a story in their somewhere but it all makes my brain hurt so I'll just nod and back away... ;)
