All Hail the King. Note Paul's previous posts down here with the PUSHERS.
Congrats Paul.
I have been thinking of your 245 mile accomplishment and you have renewed my love and respect for the push. While pumping is a wonderful thing that I appreciate more everyday...the simple elegance of the push just got thrown right back at us thanks to YOU.

TWO bombs to drop:
After much GPS-ing (usually a backup plan to lap counting, in this case we had to go the other way around) ... we're going to note Paul's record as being officially 250.4 miles.
Easier to remember is a straight 250 -- but there you have it!
Here's the other one... A new 5-miler pump record  I've been sitting on this for over a week. Sorry Greg!

I might give a cyber mile a go for VO2max training.
We'll see if I can drop 10 seconds or so and match Munson.

I'm going to rape that cyber mile record sometime later this fall. It's gonna be a forceful, nasty raping. To myself, mostly.
I love the fact that everyone killing these events are former XC guys. We some pavement killas. |

XC running, then I started racing speedboard events, throw it together and you get whatever the hell I am!

Jeff, if you haven't hit this record time yet, I would not be surprised at all. What I've found and heard from others is that same thing, there's a little "wall" around the 3:45-mark...as is true with most any sprint sport. You bust through that, and probably another "wall" at 3:40, 3:35, and so on.
I could see a concentrated effort on setting / breaking a new Cyber Mile to take a few months of focus and training. But I know at least a couple sponsors that have shown interest in supporting a "best" mile-time event, including schwag and cold-hard CASH for the record-breaker. Considering the higher stakes, the course and conditions would have to be very regulation -- like multiple independent timers and a well-measured and witnessed course beforehand, logistics like that.
So I'm just starting to gauge interest on holding something locally for this, like the Redmond Velodrome... possibly spring 2010? |

I sort of tentatively broke it a while back before I sprained my knee. It was all-pushing though, and the "course" was slightly downhill. To be fair, though, the pavement (bike trail) wasn't all that great and I might be a little faster in the city. I went back out to the same trail and did a 3:48 mile and a 7:56 2-mile combined push/pump 2 weeks ago before I caught this god for saken swine flu. I think I can still break that record doing 100% pushing soon, but I think combining pushing and pumping over longer distances will equate to some more interesting races. I definitely don't have the same kind of strength Munson had doing 100% pumping though...not yet. Just keeping 15mph over a mile is quite a task.
