It was a long time coming, but I finally took back the record for the furthest distance walked with a lawnmower balanced on the chin (non-powered).

The first time I broke this record I was pleased I walked 200 meters. It was broken with a 278-meter walk. I tried to take it back a couple of years ago but was disqualified since the powered lawnmower I was using, while turned off, was not deemed to qualify as “non-powered”.

This time I walked nearly 2.5 laps around the track for 993 meters. I was 7 meters short of 1 kilometer. I wish I could have finished those last 7 meters, but I’m happy with the result.

The TODAY show aired some footage from the record a couple of weeks ago so those who were paying attention may have seen this record post coming.
