Today’s record fit squarely in the easy category. It’s now much more difficult. The minimum mark set by Guinness was 11 minutes 57 seconds for the longest duration spinning a flying disc. It had to be on one hand but you could switch fingers (so long as it kept spinning and didn’t touch anything except one hand).

I was shooting to break the record and at least make it to 15 minutes. Six minutes in my thumb started to cramp and I wasn’t sure how long I was going to make it very long. I was standing in the back of a business review conference with 2 cameras on me and was able to switch fingers to give my thumb a break. It gave me a second wind and I kept going.

I had a hard stop 1 hour 35 minutes in to take a conference call but by the time I made it there, I didn’t want to stop. I got my headset on and kept going. I then took another conference call.

It wasn’t until three hours two minutes fifteen seconds (3:02:15) that the Frisbee spun and hit my shirt that the record attempt ended.

I was spinning at just over 110 revolutions per minute for over three hours. That means I made over 20,000 revolutions in a row. My arm and fingers felt super weird when I finally stopped but not in too much pain.
