Guinness

Lot of things happening. Long version. When i walked around Iceland I focused on finishing it and I was not thinking of Guinnes world record at all. Then I decided to cycle around iceland. I knew both the walking and the cycling part were Icelandic records. Nobody had done this before. After the cycling part was finished 2016 i got the idea that probably this could be a Guinness world record in longest triathlon. After talking to Guinness they decided to look into it and told me that because i dont have full video coverage of the attempt it is not qualified for longest triathlon even if it is nearly 2000 miles longer than existing longest triathlon.I have been talking to existing record holder Norma Bastidas about how she did her triathlon record and I am thinking of doing full attempt on her record. her record is 4983 km total. My record attempt is planed to be 8000 km. My weak part is running. I will test my ability next 2 weeks in that category. I am strong in swimming and cycling so that will not be a problem. If my running test is positive i plan to start my attempt beginning of february and finish 7 months later. I will do this attempt in Miami most of it but part of the cycling will be done as a long point to point ride to Halifax in the spring. I will send another status in 2 weeks letting you know if i am up for the running part. So please no media coverage yet until I give a green light.
