Guinness World Record attempt...again

Since getting back from the Cairo to Cape Town expedition I have been doing a lot of training with a local CrossFit Box in Witbank. The CrossFit Box (Mammoth) have really adopted me into the family and have agreed to train me for my next trip (which I won't give away yet). What happened next, well I wasn't really prepared for.

CrossFit Mammoth was single handedly responsible for the most pain I have experienced in my life!


Francois who runs the gym met up with me at a local coffee shop before one of my sessions to discuss a possible fund raising event for Operation Smile at Highveld Mall in Witbank. The point was to promote "Health and Fitness Week" at the mall and just shed some light on what CrossFit is about. After throwing some ideas together in the gym we reached a verdict, we would be doing burps. The format: 12 Hours, 10 Athletes, Guinness World Record, Burpee relay. (please click the word Burpee if you have no idea what it is)

As a current holder of a record I agreed to register the record on their behalf as the response time would be much quicker. The date was set for 6 June between 8am and 8pm.
The Thursday before the event however there were some last minute cancelations from athletes who had otter commitments. They were down to 7 names and needed at least one more name...you see were this is going?

The 8 Athletes that set the standard for the Guinness World Record on Saturday 6 June at Highveld Mall, back right, me, a confused looking cyclist thrown into the deep end of CrossFit not to sure if I cried after the picture, but it is possible.

Needless to say, the week before, the sound of "NO REP, NO REP..." was all I could hear between what I defined as a burpee during a session. They believed I could get it right and chucked my name into the list of athletes.

From this, I am happy to say that I was part of the attempt. We raised one surgery for Operation Smile. It was one of the hardest single day events I have ever done, mentally challenging, physically energy sapping and just all round hell. The saying, "Gone to hell and back," really made sense to me yesterday! We completed the 12 hours and managed 13 697 burpees establishing the new baseline for the Guinness World Record!

Just for the record, typing this today, I have rolled over from my bed, wrote as quickly as I can with the only part of my body that can move (my fingers) and will now be rolling back into bed. Have never felt this type of pain, but I would do it all over again, the body is an amazing thing, it is capable of anything, its only the mind that limits it. Over and out...have a lovely end to your Sunday!

Thanks to Francois for putting on a great show!
