I thought this was going to be easy. Aerodynamics, inexperience, cold, and pressure made it much harder than I expected.

The record was for the farthest throw and catch of a sausage roll into the mouth. The previous mark was 11 meters.

Jonathan and I are relatively fresh off the most throws and catches of a baseball in one minute so his arms strength is up. What I didn’t anticipate was how a 19-gram irregular shape would fly through the air. I thought this would be one and done but I kept missing the sausage roll. It would fly and catch the air just enough that I’d miss it.

It also didn’t help that I was trying to catch it at the furthest possible flight distance so I would have to bend down to my knees to try to catch it. By the time it made it that far, it was falling more vertically and that reduced the available entry angle to my mouth.

Finally, it was cold out and my wife was there with our baby who was getting just a little fussy adding to the pressure.

In the end, we walked away with a successful catch of a sausage roll in the mouth of 83 feet 10 inches or 25.5 meters over doubling the previous mark.
