"Disappointed," Doiron told CTV News after the race. "I was just so sure that I would get it, and to come so close, that's the first emotion."
Doiron joggled the race with a chest-mount GoPro to document the run for a Guinness World Record. He took off at a blistering pace, hitting 5K in 19:05, 10K in 38:24 and the half-marathon in 1:21:40, but then he says he hit the wall at about 32K and it was a fight to finish. Doiron says he dropped a ball about 10-15 times, and the fatigue from turning back and picking them up reminded him of running cross-country on a course with lots of turns.
So is my world record safe? Probably not for long. Doiron says on Instagram that he plans to have another go at it this fall.
