I did 52 on the Burke. (had to go back to get my water after about a mile in). It comes out to 110.8. This was such an awesome event! Best one I've ever been too!!! Paul was awesome!

I think you're confusing the word awesome with the meaning of sleep drunk.

when my life has calmed down a bit and the baby is here and we are in nz, i'd like to have a go at getting over 200. 150 wasnt too bad and i know there is more in the tank.
I'd probably stick with push unless i could find somewhere like dorney where ldp is truly king.
Just thinking about pauls skate blows my mind. I can stick to 10mph easily but the times come down because of the rest. I think i could probably up the speed to 12mph but then the endurance of 24 hours comes in. I did 150 in just under 16 hours and we had a huge break of about an hour.
my mind boggles with what both Ted and paul have done.
just amazing, but it just makes me realise just quite how addictive skating distance is.
i love it.
oh, im getting some serious mile on the mermaid n virages. best so far is over 10 miles with only the starting pushes. wonderful deck, wonderful trucks. |

The lap counting was not quite up to snuff, so we did a combination of GPS records and my manual tracking from the log book starting at midnight until 7:20 a.m. when Paul stopped. Based on Paul and I coming to our best estimates, then two simple and pre-determined factors of our Seattle course, namely:
1. The Burke-Sammamish and Stone Way daytime = 102 miles
2. The Greenlake loop = 2.8 miles
We came to the conclusion of 102 miles + 53 laps, or 250.4 miles total.
Once again, Congrats Paul!!! |

Wow thanks again guys!
I seem to already be forget the pain and I'm already dreaming of coming back.
I got to beat that Paul guys distance record!
I actually had tons of fun! and it was so rewarding! I love the concept of a ultra marathon via skateboard!
True endurance longboarding.
Something I'm going to try to improve at for sure!
Can't thank you guys enough (especially James and Rachael haha)
James you made this happen, you're a genius!
I pray to see you rogue but don't stress over it!

After ted got the record last year he made a post with his tips. Following in his footsteps I felt It fitting I do the same.
#1: Be stubborn!
You must be stubborn over all else, Don't be like the mule, surpass him. You must be prepared to teach the mule!
#2: Train for an ultra marathon
Just as ted suggested, I didn't get around to it this time, if you're like me and you can't get the training in, do as I did and revert back to tip #1.
#3: Have a plan
I pushed for ten minutes fast and the 2 minutes slow for most of the day. I knew what I was supposed to eat and when. When I got lazy and threw the plan out around 3am onwards, I just stuck to tip #1
#4 know your nutrition, Plan your diet really well and know what types of protien, fats, electrolytes, and sugars to use. What stuff can be easily digested? Test these foods during a long training session. I use LOTS of vega products. I find they are some of the best though up supplements I have ever seen. Whole foods ground up into a complete intake of vitamins.
Has any one found my heart rate monitor?

Great tips Paul!
Haven't seen your heart rate monitor but will keep an eye out and post on NWLB as well. And if all else falls through I'll poke around the attic where I should have one of those that got very little use, it went with a Garmin305 so I think it would be compatible? but I'm not the most organized dude so finding it will be the question  |
