July 19, 2006       Not really a "new" record is it.


And did he really do 24 hours just sat in that coffin on a track?  What weight of fluid did he have on board to fuel him?  (and where did the excess go? - Think of the Windcheetah LeJog waste discharge tube ;))

There must have been some rest periods?  Surely?

edit:   cross post re food/waste - I typed too slow

Hmmm. He's got pipes in there for Nutrition and Hydration, surely over 24hours he's going to need a 3rd pipe?

(Oh, hang on - that might be out of shot, bottom-right).
