I've been watching the 'miles to go' tick down on RelayGB all day. The record is about to be broken....just 4 miles away (oh to be the runner holding the baton when they cross the imaginary line for the existing record - that would definitely be something very special I would think). It's going to be broken somewhere near Leven, just south of St Andrews in Scotland. This afternoon I thought it had been 'rigged' that Liz McColgan and her team would be the ones carrying the baton across that imaginary line but their leg has been and gone. Once it reaches that goal, things will go silent again as the miles start being piled on between the original and the new World Record, scheduled to finish in London on Monday.
Now just 3 miles to go...this guy called Graeme Cane is absolutely tanking along at a very impressive 8.2 mph - that has to be one of the fastest legs so far.
It's now 23.33 and 2 miles left.....2 miles, that's nothing - from work to the beach!
Now 23.40 and the baton is in it's final mile of the old world record distance...nail biting stuff this is!
23.52
NEW WORLD RECORD..........woo hoo!!! Huge congratulations to everyone who made this happen. I'm officially a World Record holder - how amazing is that!?
