How sad.


Why? It's exercise... like ice-skating, but a lot more physically
demanding and with more varied scenery.

Anyway, respect to the guy - to beat it is something, but to beat
it by 43 minutes! Wow.


Just to correct you he did not beat it by 43 minutes he beat my
record by 12 minutes, Evening Standard were given the wrong info
so every one else gave the wrong info as well


Steven, you told us on 3rd March that you were waiting to hear from
Guinness about your claimed record. Did they confirm it?
