Re: Record attempt scheduled
It looks as though either the tracker or the rider has stopped.
Re: Record attempt scheduled
Tracker is down. Last position was Kendal@ 08:13, 48 mins behind schedule (source @ 24hourmaths twittet)

Re: Record attempt scheduled
The tracker is working again.
48 mins behind schedule is a critical point with a schedule to beat the record by 45 mins. Fingers crossed it's still retrievable.

Re: Record attempt scheduled
Sadly, Christina’s attempt has ended just north of Kendal.
Abandoned after “niggling injury that would just wouldn’t go away” from team Twitter feed @2137lejog

Good morning all. Unfortunately, it’s with heavy hearts that we have to report that Christina has abandoned her attempt due to a niggling injury that just wouldn’t go away. A valiant and inspirational effort I’m sure you’ll all agree. Thank you all for your overwhelming support. (link)

Re: Record attempt scheduled
That’s a brilliant graph above. Anybody whom attempts such a ‘tough’ record has my admiration. Just goes to show what supreme athletes the previous holders were/are especially when you consider their bikes and kit.
I feel gutted for Christina and her team and wish her all the best in her future endeavours.

Re: Record attempt scheduled
Sorry to hear it
Sounds more than a niggle!
But I know from marathons and ultras that pushing on through the pain often leads to bigger injuries and longer recovery times down the line for no benefit once the goal becomes untenable.
Hope she tries again.
Cheers James

It would be really good if she’s able to have another go at this.
