Skatey-Mark Takes Second in Montreal 24-Hour Skate Race
The word from Dave W last night on the phone was that Mark placed second overall in the Solo division of the 24-Hour skate race in Montréal QC at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve. Way to go Mark! I can't wait to hear how many miles he logged! Congratulations to the other participants, especially Brian S. Please let us know your stats and experiences, guys!
Mark can be seen on the awesome http://speedskateworld.com site with a ribbon around his neck! Here's a link to the photo page where he's in the final photo...

Here's one taken sometime in the last 2 hours...

I know that because that's when I ditched the sliders and rolled down the shirt. (I have no memory of the picture being taken...) I was hurting pretty bad at that point, and anything I could do to make myself more comfortable was crucial. If the rules didn't require helmets, I would have seriously considered taking it off too...
I'm sitting in the airport now -- I'll be working on the trip report in the airport, on the plane, etc... So the details are coming soon...

mileage update
I finally uploaded my gps & hrm data. I only had gps data for the first 13 hours, so I used that to determine the average lap lengths for the short & long routes, then calculated my mileage from that.
There was a little discrepancy between my gps and the distance that the organizers use for each lap. So depending on what numbers are used for the calculation, I came up with somewhere between 274 and 279 miles. There was also a warmup lap that I'm not including, so that's another 2.9 miles or so.
Still working on the full report, but I know people were wondering about the distance. BTW - the course record from last year was 432.4 km, or 268.7 miles.

Over 274 Miles of Inline Skating in One Day!
Recovery!
274 miles in 24 hours, or even 274 miles in 36 or 48 hours, is unfathomable! Congratulations, Skatey-Mark.
Happy recovery! I can't imagine how that must've hurt! Has the soreness gone already?
