New time to beat

Post by palkanetoijala31 »

Its official despite being the 4th recent record time although 2 of those i dont think will get confirmed now (5 if u count Perry Vale & rickmansworth group on tube olympics) under 17h 12m 43s

The New time to beat is 16h 44m 16s achieved by Martin hazel,Steve Wilson and Andi James on December 14th 2009.

Scratch that. I now postulate 16h 30m as lower bound on time.

Ok Bouncingtigger 15.10.2010 17h 12m 28s (Solo Time set no independant witness name given to verify little evidence as of post time no evidence given in ? only Jay can let us know if this was successful)
Martha Jackson & Tim Roberts 17h 11m 05s (False time how on earth did we get ours claimed before there,s when its was over a month and half later and nobody knows whom they r)
Sam Cawley whom everybody knows will probably in the next few days say she got her record certificate but put her evidence in after us actually.
and Perry Vale & rickmansworth at least beat the official time on tube olympics

I suppose it,s because i have put a lot of effort into obtaining 3 world records and have put my body through hell 25 times and really dont care if i never break it again i can look myself in the mirror and say i have done it!At least wiv ur good friend ******** time it was laughable by beating it 7h.I suppose i have got a bee in the bonnet over this and wont rest until i find the fantasy Blaggards and drag them round the tube by their hair in 17h 11m 05s

A couple of points spring to mind here.

First, why don't you let Guinness decide if their attempt is geniune? If Guinness confirm it, then they did it. If nothing is ever heard again then you needn't worry yourself. Even if it is documented somewhere, it's still not the fastest time because ... secondly, you put yourself though hell 25 times only to be beaten by a girl.
