How difficult is it to complete the "777 Challenge"?
In the past, there were many personal praises for the vet on the Internet (the vet's name was David Gersin). In fact, there is almost no way for individuals to do this. It must be possible to team up or participate in a specific competition (organize to complete this challenge). Running seven marathons in seven days, many long-distance endurance athletes can do it, but it is quite difficult to complete seven marathons irregularly in such a short time, with many flights and intermediate time. Posted in Love Burning No Bullshit News Column: No Bullshit News |777 Challenge! Reprint indicates that love burns. ——————————— The dividing line of Boeing 777, also known as the WorldMarathonChallenge, completed seven full marathons on seven continents in seven days. In other words, within 168 hours, you have to change planes nonstop (other means of transportation are too slow), arrive at a place on seven continents, and then run a full marathon in the closing time, with seven races totaling 296 kilometers. We should also arrange a rest time between the trip and the horse race, and pray that the flight that is always "sorry to inform you" can take off and land on time and not get hurt. The crazier, the more people are willing to try. There are even companies that specialize in "777 Challenge (WMC)", and many people have completed it. DavidGething, a Hong Kong veterinarian who became popular on the Internet recently, participated in WMC on 20 15. Gersin, 39, was born in Melbourne, Australia, and the Millennium began in Hong Kong. I usually love marathons and have made many achievements. /kloc-The finish of the Boston Marathon in 0/4 was 2 hours and 54 minutes. He and other 12 people began to challenge from 65438+ 10/7, starting from the Alliance Glacier in Antarctica. Although affected by snow blindness and frostbite, it finally took 3 hours 2 1 minute 35 seconds to complete. 14 hours later, finish the race in punta arenas, Chile at 3 hours, 23 minutes and 0 1 second; Then they flew to Miami on the south coast of the United States in 0/5 hour, and got the whole horse in 3 hours, 4 hours, 0 minutes and 49 seconds. From the marathon to their next destination, Madrid, they stayed in Miami for less than 14 hour. Gesing finished Madrid in 3 hours, 36 minutes and 02 seconds. Then these people went to Marrakech in North Africa. From Miami to Madrid and then to Marrakech, the flight distance is competitive and the trip is dense. It is still raining in Marrakech. Gersin spent 4 hours, 20 minutes and 55 seconds here, which is also the slowest in 7 days; The next flights to Dubai and Sydney will take 13.5 and 17 hours to get a good sleep on the plane. The two stops took 3 hours 43 minutes 06 seconds and 3 hours 29 minutes 365,438+0 seconds respectively. At this point, Gersin successfully completed WMC. (Singh ended the last stop of the "777 Challenge" and took a photo with the tournament director Donovan. The latter is also the fastest completion record creator in 4 days, 22 hours and 03 minutes. David Gersing's WMC took 25 hours, 36 minutes and 03 seconds, and the average time to complete seven marathons was 3 hours, 39 minutes and 26 seconds. The whole flight time is 6 1 hour and 55 minutes, the total flight mileage is as high as 3.8W km, and the total stay time of seven continents is 106 hour. This year, 65,438+00 people finally completed WMC, and Finnish girl MariannaZaikova became the first woman to complete the 777 challenge. Her seven marathons took an average of 5 hours, 46 minutes and 06 seconds. Many players who participated in WMC also prepared charity projects to complete the 777 challenge to raise funds. The "777 Challenge" is only organized once a year. In addition to the marathon, you can also choose the half. The price of participating in the 20 15 777 challenge is 32,000 euros, including the whole business class air ticket and the competition fee. Chartered flight and polar costumes will be provided for the Antarctic competition. At present, the world record of "777 Challenge" is 4 days, 22 hours and 03 minutes. The creator is RichardDonovan, the competition director of WMC. He is an out-and-out endurance maniac. (Gebre Silasy, the legend of long-distance running, has entered) WMC also has a club called "Seven Continents Marathon Club", which can be joined by anyone who has completed the marathon on seven continents (not in seven days). By the end of 20 14, the club had 8/kloc-0 men and 2/kloc-0 women. The schedule of 20 16 also came out. 20 16WMC will arrive in Chile at 65438+1October 2 1 to start preparations, and fly to the Antarctic joint glacier on the 26th to start this crazy 168 hour. The entry price is the same as this year. The applicant will pay in three installments, with a down payment of 654.38+0.2 million euros. The closing time of each station is set to 8 hours. Someone tried to finish 777-2013Feb16-Feb 24, and New Zealander Mike finally used it in Frankfurt Islands (Antarctica), Chile (South America), Los Angeles (North America), London (Europe), Casablanca (Africa), Hong Kong (Asia) and the whole trip. Among the seven stops, Mike's first stop is 4h59' in Falkland Islands, Antarctica, and the slowest stop is 6h54' in Casablanca, Africa. MikeAllsop's trip was sponsored by a brand. He is a mountaineer, has climbed some difficult peaks, and is also an orator. His job is to become the captain of Air New Zealand. Only fly Boeing 737 instead of 777. (Above: all the luggage when MikeAllsop challenged 777/Below: Mike's job, the captain of Boeing 737) In order to complete the "777 challenge", a player must have good endurance reserve and anti-fatigue ability. Others, such as the ability to adapt to the environment, the self-adjustment ability of the body, and whether you can finish a quality rest at the seam, are all very important. Another thing to note about the "777 Challenge" is that every marathon needs to be completed on an independent continent, and an intercontinental city like Istanbul does not meet the requirements. This also means that one of the seven marathons will take a boat trip. The first stop of the "777 Challenge" will be in Antarctica, because the climate there is really bad and there are the most uncontrollable factors. Chile, which is closest to Antarctica, will be the second stop and the most convenient place to and from Antarctica. Africa generally chooses North Africa, which will save a lot of time. The three-day trip from South America to Africa is the most intensive and arduous. Then there are long-distance flights from Africa to Asia and Asia to Oceania. The quality of sleep on the plane is critical, so business class is a must. Show all
