Day 3

Great weather early in the morning but got hot at the end. Having blister issues on my left foot even with blister resistance socks on. Overall ok run.

Day 2

Hot day. Did my usual circle 18 km. Did an interwiew with a guy from Miami Herald. I am now doing the longest triathlon for Wheel heros for kids https://www.facebook.com/wheelheroes/

Start

Everything is ready and I feel good so I am starting tomorrow.

More about strategy

Triathlon is running swimming and cycling. Regular triathlon starts with swimming then cycling and running is the last. I will start my longest tri with running. Running is difficult to do in the heat because I go slow and it is so slow that there is no air resistance to cool me down.Therefore  i start running when the weather is still cool. Then I will do the cycling part. When i start the cycling it will be warm in miami but I will go much faster and have better air resistance that will cool me down. I will end the attemt by swimming in a inside pool so heat is not an issue there. But If Guinnes gives me green light to do the longest duathlon too I will be doing my run during the hottest time of the year in miami.I have issues  taking good quality videos in the dark so I need to do my runs during the day. But lets see how it goes

Recovery

Because I dont take rest days the recovery must be during the night. There are few things I use to make my body recover faster. I use deep heat gel on my legs after the run and ride. It heats up the muscles. Usually I will take anti bloating medication like ibuprofen. If the feets are swollen it will make the swell better. Stretching too. 

 

media

Next weekend the Icelandic media will follow me. I dont expect usa and international media yet. I expect the big international media to kick in around 1 month into my attempt.

New record attempt

When I do my running I will run  just over half marathon per day.Yesterday I found out that there is a guinnes world record in doing as many half marathons as possible in one year. The existing record is 102 half marathons. I will do around 120 in the longest triathlon and duathlon so I applied for this record yesterday. Guinness takes 5 weeks to tell me if I am allowed to do this attempt. So I will be doing attempts on 3 world records.

- Longest triathlon 6649 km

- Longest duathlon 6449 km

-Most half marathons run in one year (male) 120

 

My legs are fresh and ready. My mind too so this will be fun
