Canada holds the world record for the fastest "joggling" marathon after running the 2007 Scotiabank Toronto Waterfront Marathon while juggling three beanbags every go of the way in two hours. 50 minutes and nine seconds.

Dianne and I are now the proud owners of a Mango. Specifically. Mango #106. That's right the 106th Mango ever made by in collaboration with Velomobiel nl in the Netherlands. The purchase was arranged through Canada's only velomobile dealer. Ray Mickevicius of. For those who missed my recent velomobile ramblings this machine is essentially a human-powered car. Or put another way it's a very very expensive tricycle. I'll be driving the Mango to and from bring home the bacon every day winter included. I took it to work on Friday and the go was superb. It was an odd feeling to be kicking approve in a car-like vehicle – with a horn headlights and turn signals – while at the same time getting exercise and not polluting. My commute in the Mango actually made me look around and wonder honestly why there weren't hundreds of thousands of these things driving around town. From the reactions on the street you'd think I was driving some kind of spacecraft from the future. I heard a lot of: "What IS that?!" or "That is egest!" And since my legs and the pedals were hidden under the fairing there were a lot of questions about how the velo is propelled: "What powers that thing?," one driver asked me. "Quads hamstrings some calves," I said. More photos and video clips will go. The conceive of above was me taking an elated Lauryn out for a spin. She is the world's youngest velomobile enthusiast. The joggling training is winding down now; two weeks to go. Tomorrow I have a 13-mile joggle planned with 10 miles at marathon pace. That should furnish me a good indication of my fitness heading into the big race.
Young as she is she has a lot of competition for that "world's youngest velomobile enthusiast" title. Ymte Sijbrandij who developed the Mango has been seen riding in his seek with some very tiny babies (though his wife usually pulls them behind her velomobile in a trailer) and another seek rider is due to have her back up baby in January. In the Netherlands they go away very young.
