The following are my Athletic Records from my Personal Records Book. My Personal Records Book has over 500 Personal Records (Athletic Records, Academic Records, Spiritual Records, and Circumstantial Records) and 272 of those records are my athletic records. I started documenting my personal records in 1993, September 10th. These records are updated as of 2014, November 29th.
As you may or may not know I am a Guinness Record Holder, and a Ripley's Believe It or Not.
I Have also been published in 2 books for my records, one of which was the, Ripley's Believe It or Not (Download the Weird Book) hard cover - 9th annual edition book (Page 160). The other book was the RecordSetter Book of World Records.
I am publishing these records because these records are illustrative of who I am - and I wish to forever preserve a part of myself on the internet. Because when I die, I can only further exist as a memory.
The other reason is to inspire, and motivate others to break my records in becoming the best they can be.
We are all born great - life is just a matter of proving it! Darryl Learie

containing 15,598.5 cubic inches or 255.6 liters (67.5 gallons) of air.
Over-all the flow rate would be blowing 1 liter of air every 1.10 seconds. This
was my second beach ball blown continuously with-out stopping.
At the time I had been a pack a day smoker for duration of 9 years, 6 months,
30 days (3,498 days).

Record Name: Fastest Time to

Personal Record: 3 Hours 51
Minutes
Date Achieved: 2011.02.02
W5: It took me 3 Hours 51 Minutes to
blow-up 1,000 balloons with two 5 minutes breaks (smoke breaks) thus actually
blowing time was 3 Hours, 41 Minutes. This works out to 271.5 balloons blown-up

Record Name: Most Standard-Sized
Party Balloons Blown-up Inside One-another
Personal Record: Pre-Blown
- 8 Balloons, and, Never Blown – 4 Balloons
Date Achieved:
2011.04.09
W5: Thus, the largest 8th
balloon had 7 smaller balloons inside of it. And therefore to blow-up 4
brand-new balloons, is 4X harder than blowing up 1 balloon. However, for
pre-blown balloons the record is 8 balloons in total, because the balloons get
stretched out considerably, become weaker, and thus are easier to blow into.
