So I'm going to set a Guinness World Record...
It's Official: Guinness World Record attempt at Austin Marathon (2/14/10)
So I've been slowly revealing this information to friends as the date has gotten closer, but today I got the final approvals I needed on some things so everything is a go!
On Feb 14th, 2010 at the Austin Marathon, I will be attempting to set a new GUINNESS WORLD RECORD for the fastest marathon dressed as a leprechaun.
I've done numerous marathons before but it's been a few years since I've done a standalone marathon and so I figured this year I'd go for an extra exciting challenge.
I recall as a child being just amazed looking thru a copy of the Guinness World Records book and always thought "Hey, I could do that" and "Wouldn't that be cool if I did that?" Fast forward a couple of decades and here we are. I simply can't wait!!
The current record is 4 hr 22 min 08 sec achieved by Jack Lyons (UK) at the Flora London Marathon, London, UK, on 26 April 2009.
I've started a blog to follow the fun at http://jweinshe.livejournal.com/
Woot!!
