Bonjour Vincent,
je ne connais pas vos capacites physiques, mais voici quelque chose qui pourrait vous encourager.
En 1928 une course a pied fut organisee entre
Los Angeles et
new York.
Le gagnant couvrit la distance en 573 heures a 10 Kms a l'heure moyenne.
On March 4, 1928, over 275 runners began the grueling odyssey; by the third day over half had dropped out. Pyle arranged for towns along the way to bid for the privilege of the route traveling up their Main Streets. Towns that didn't come up with the money were bypassed, causing the race to take odd alternate paths.
Pyle also made sure his Footrace carnival preceded the runners in each town. The traveling side show exhibited the embalmed remains of
Elmer McCurdy, Oklahoma Outlaw, and featured "a 5-legged pig and a dog that talked with its ears, " according to
Elmer McCurdy, the Misadventures in Life and Afterlife of an American Outlaw
(Mark Svenvold, 2002).
The race continued through desert heat and torrential rains. Runners succumbed along the way to injuries, exhaustion, and one was even hit by a car that sped away. Andy Payne emerged as a contender against a Brit, Peter Gavuzzi, trading the lead back and forth for five weeks until Gavuzzi dropped out in
Ohio complaining of a "bad tooth."
As a final indignity, Pyle made the runners circle around Madison Square Garden for 20 miles before crossing the finish line. The Transcontinental Footrace of 1928 had covered 3,423.5 miles.
Payne set a world record by completing the distance in 573 hours, 4 minutes, 34 seconds -- he averaged 6 miles an hour. He got his $25,000 dollars, returned to
Oklahoma, and married his sweetheart.- See more at:
