Nobody has travelled farther in one day under his own power than Greg.

On July 17th, 2006 on a race track in Eureka, CA, Greg set two world records recognized by both the International Human Powered Vehicle Association and Guinness (TM) World Records. The first record is for the most distance travelled in 24 hours by human power (647 miles, 1041 km), and the second for the worlds fastest 1000 km time trial (23 hours, 2 minutes). This web log documents the entire 18 month project including the design and construction of Greg's special human powered vehicle "Critical Power", Greg's killer training program, the dramatic failed attempt on a race track in Alabama and concludes with his inspiring success in California.

245.16 km in 24 hours by human powered boat - a new world record!

On September 9, 2008, Greg pedalled 245.16 km (152.3 miles) in 24 hours around a rectangular course on Whitefish Lake in Montana setting a new official Guinness (TM) world record. This web log details the design and fabrication of Greg's human powered pedal boat "Critical Power 2", his ambitious training program and his successful record attempt.

3000 miles across the Pacific ocean by human power.

Greg is going to pedal his human powered boat 'WiTHiN' 3000 miles across the Pacific ocean from Vancouver Island to Hawaii and attempt to become the first person to travel from Canada to Hawaii across the Pacific ocean by human power.

4th place at Ironman Arizona and a coveted Hawaii slot

Described by some as the most difficult sport in the world, the Ironman triathlon starts with a 3.8 km swim followed by a 180 km bike ride then concludes with a full marathon run of 42 km. Greg competed in his first Ironman triathlon in 2001 and was hooked. He has finished an unfathomable 12 Ironman races since then with a 4th place finish in his division at Ironman Arizona, 2006 which qualified Greg for the world championships in Kona, Hawaii in October, 2006. This web log features race reports from all 14 Ironman races including the big one in Hawaii as well as training tips and race strategies he learned along the way.
