I could be wrong, but it really does look as though Amanda has deliberately not put her nose in front of Steve's total these last few days, in order not to steal his glory. I hope so anyway. I'm impressed.

Day 142 ended with 232 miles! :smile:

Congratulations to Steven Abraham for succeeding and setting a new monthly mileage record! From experience I know how hard he had to work to set the new record. Way to set the bar high, whoo hoo! :smile:

Oh and Dad had a close encounter (by his own goofy choice) with a huge rattlesnake. Yikes!

Finally! My You Tube talk on my UMCA Month Record.
The whole thing goes on for almost an hour. I was going to have it as one You Tube movie, but that never went to plan. I simply pointed my camera at myself and said everything I thought I should say, however long it took. After a few bad starts, I just went straight through, recorded it. The lighting and camera angle isn't very good and I'm not practiced at giving talks. It's not edited.
When I uloaded to You Tube, I found that it had been split into 10 minute movies. I did think about trying to edit them all together, but thought that a series of 10 minute movies would be better.
It took longer than I expected to get out. First I had to write a report for the UMCA and writing that made me realise how jumbled up my memory of the month was. Once I'd got that sorted, I just did the straight talk. It took about 24 hours to upload to You Tube.

Just done a lactic threshold test at Phil Corley Cycles, Milton Keynes ready for further training for The Year. It looks like I've got fitter.

I'm going for a Jan 1st start predication too.

Anyone else watched the YouTube video? I thought it was pretty interesting on the whole. When I met him earlier in the year, he came across much the same as he does there. still unnerved by the thought of 300miles being a days ride though.
