Ken Meaney reports on Ride The Lobster’s gruelling 800km 5-day race in The Ottawa Citizen, that “35 teams of unicyclists are about to mount up for a gruelling five-day race and bragging rights to being the hottest thing on one wheel.”
He reports that British Columbia resident and member of Team No.12 Hans Islanders, Todd Sankey, has been preparing 20-25 hours per week but has never done the distance needed in Ride The Lobster’s 800km 5-day international unicycle race in Nova Scotia, Canada. “To keep it up over five days?”, Sankey is reported to say, ” It’s hard to train for that . . After an hour and a half, I really have to get off.”
