Gutted that it didn’t work out for you Phil. I would be happy to put it down to sub-zero temperatures… that’s never going to be easy! I was watching a feature about the new Olympic velodrome and how warm they heat it to reduce air resistance; so I guess cool is harder, and super-cold is very hard!
I really hope you can schedule a re-run later in the year. In better conditions you should have a good shot at it.
Anyway, welcome to the small, brave, defiant group of failed attemptees of the current 100 mile record (as far as I know this is: Ken Looi, Zach Warren, me and now you)! (Has anyone else made a formally measured attempt that I missed? I’m sure there must have been some between 1987 and 2005?)
