"Reese completed the 2,829 mile trek from Los Angeles to New York City in just 38 hours, 49 minutes, beating George Egloff’s 1983 record of 42 hours by a considerable margin."
I think I'm more impressed with George Egloff's run. In 1983 the national speed limit was 55 mph.
Actually, both are pretty impressive. I've done a couple of 18 hr. long distance runs and I can honestly say I wasn't eager to get back on the bike for a week or two. Like EG, the only time I've done this is to get from point A to point B, as the last leg of a big road trip.
