Paddling Nonstop for 24 Hours: How a World Record is Made - Brandon Nelson
Driving 151.3 miles in a car would often take approximately two and a half hours, depending on traffic and speed limits. But for Brandon Nelson's most recent 151.3 mile trip, it took exactly 24 hours. He paddled around Lake Padden, near Bellingham, Washington 87 times in the allotted window, setting a new world record for the event. Nelson fell off his kayak three times in the process, and tells Boyd that his body didn't feel pain, but it began to break down toward the end of the 24-hour window, landing him in the hospital afterwards.
