Hope you & Erin are well. I'm feeling rough at the moment having really put myself thru it yesterday. The good news is that we did what we wanted. It was amazing to see 4 records being attempted at the same time. What was also nice is that it was all members of the MAD Team. We managed to pull it off without having to draft any other people in from outside teams to do it.
The records were:
Womens: Old Record: 3hr 11min 3sec. New Record: 2hr 57min 7.3sec
Mixed: Old record: 2hr 40min 11sec. New Record: 2hr 31min 43.3sec
Mens: Old Record: 2hr 24min 29sec. New Record: 2hr 19min 44.4sec
50,000m relay: 2hr 15min 38.7sec.
We had 2 lightweights in the 50k and was not a full strength team by any means. The idea was to set a target for other teams to have a go at. We can always take the record back at a later date with a full strength team. Having said that we still averaged 1:21.3/500m and we didn't do any practice for it. I was quite pleased as I hit splits of 1:09 and 1:10 on a lot of my turns and ended up as one of the quickest for the whole 50k.
I've attached a couple pics for you to look at!
Cheers
