By performing multiple events
continuously since morning till the afternoon, Abhijit Baruah of Jorhat
could successfully set another record.
At 7.45 am on October 14, 2012, Abhijit
started his first feat ‘non-stop running’ from the Jorhat Stadium to
Sivsagar on NH- 37. Abhijit reached his destination Gaurisagar (In
Sivsagar) at 11.45 am and from there he took on his next feat ‘cycling’
at 11.57 am. The cycling feat ended at the Jorhat stadium at 2.57 pm. The
total distance covered in the 7 hours (cycling + running) was 99 kms. From there, he took on the next feats
‘push ups’, ‘sits ups’, ‘5 minutes boxing’, ‘running for 200 meters while
carrying a lot of 40 kg on his
shoulders’ and at last he completed his feat ‘barefoot running’. He
performed 27 full pushups in 21 seconds starting at 3 pm and then performed
20 sit ups in 16 seconds at 3.01 pm. After that, he did boxing for 5
minutes on a punch pad from 3.04 pm till 3.09 pm. Then at 3.14 pm, he ran
for a distance of 200 m carrying a sandbag weighing 40 kg in 1 minute 44
seconds and from there he returned back on barefoot (covering 200 m) in
36 seconds. Thus he ended his day by covering 7 skills of endurance one
after the other in 7 hours and 37 minutes. During the entire course he
did not stop even for a single moment. The India Book of Records has
included his feat as a new kind of record with multiple events.
