Tony Mangan wins 48hr at Brno.
Posted by planetultramarathon on March 18, 2007
In a fantastic performance, Tony Mangan from Ireland has won the 48hr Indoor Race at Brno with 426.178km . Second was Kenji Okiyama from Japan with 412.9km. This is an excellant result for Tony and certainly caps off a good St Patricks Day weekend for the Irish after their cricketers beating Pakistan in the World Cup.
I have done a quick analysis on Tony’s performance. Here are the 6 hour breakdowns:
6hr: 59km
12hr: 57.8km
18hr: 58.2km
24hr: 49.133km
30hr: 55.167km
36hr: 43.5km
42hr: 51.2km
48hr: 53.178km
It is also believed that Tony’s performance is a World Record for Indoors. This will be subject to ratification by the IAU.
