This is my last post of the year. Goal complete: 52 Guinness World Records in 52 weeks (with quite a bit of buffer 🙂 )!

This record was with Mike Beacham for the most behind the back frisbee catches in one hour. The mark to beat was 1,400. We didn’t create the record, but whoever did was never able to successfully challenge it.

We broke the 1-minute variety of this record last year with 51 catches in a minute. Before that, the record was 37. We averaged 36.2 catches per minute for the entire hour, so we’re feeling pretty good.

Mike threw about 2,520 frisbees in the hour and I caught 2,173 of them for an 86.2% catch rate. That’s a B+ in my book. While not good enough in school, that’s good enough to beat the Guinness mark by over 50%. We crossed 1,400 catches in just over 39 minutes giving us over 20 minutes to pad the stats.

The tips of my fingers were bloodied by the end with the (wisely trimmed) fingers nails smashed in. We had several stretches of great throws and Mike was spot on most of the time. With over 2,500 throws through, he gave me a few changes to make the highlight reel and you can catch a few of them in the video above.

Thanks to the team: Mike, Mark, Chris, Dusty, Kathi, Jennifer, Becky, and the kids! The frisbee collectors (Dusty and Kathi) may have had the most strenuous jobs and the witnesses had to stay laser-focused to keep count.
