Kajsa Tylen: The Billie Dovey 81 miles a day progress thread

[steveindenmark]

Please do! I've been getting quite worried about her, as legs don't get better on their own especially when they're bearing the brunt of the work. Although she did say she was booked in with a physio.... last night? So fingers crossed she's had some massage and/or trigger point release and some tips/stretches/exercises to help going forward.

I used to run marathons, half marathons and cross country and suffered for years with sore legs. I was always training and they never got a proper rest. Then someone suggested that I try electronic massage pads. I bought the kit and tried them and they worked like magic. I still have the kit and use them after long stunts on my Kickbike. They still work a treat. I think Kajsa would benefit from them.

From Jo from the other place.

Day 48. It has not been an easy couple of weeks for Kajsa with cold and wet winter days, a change in the rules from Guinness and tired legs that have required a visit from the physio. In the last week she has averaged around 72 mpd but despite her trials she remains well up on Billie's pace - around 197 miles above the Dovey line.

Kajsa's Guinness target is 50,000 km. I guess if she beats Billie Dovey's mark (47.5k km or thereabouts) she gets the record even if she doesn't attain the 50k km mark. I mention this only because her recent travails with sore quads and cold rain mean that her rate has, for the first time, dipped below the target rate for 50k km. But hey, it's only February... Its a long old year.

It's another chilly day of clear blue skies and not much wind in the E Mids. Lovely day for riding if you wrap up well.

And to put things in perspective, another whole week that I've left my bike at home due to having a slight cold.

Steve Abraham has "advertised" on Facebook a ride with Kajsa this coming Sunday:

I cant post a link right now but today's vlog has more Guinness news.

It's a good job she didn't set off drafting immediately because Guinness have changed their minds again, done the hokey cokey, turned about, and rescinded the rule change, so she's back to the original rules.

What an absolute shower.

So are Guinness going to 'Unrecognise' Kurt's HAMR ? Different Rulz ...

[Not really to be taken seriously but ... My Goodness, ........... ! ]

I'm happy for Kajsa, she can now do the record that she planned for and wanted to do. If anyone else wants to take it off her, there are clear guidelines for how to do it.

Does men we're going to have rival records though. Alicia is going for the HAM'R record under the UMCA rules. I'm going to guess Kurt will be swapping places and driving the van.
