Pooley ületas eelmist maailmarekordit, mis kuulus Hannah Rhodesile, ligi 15 minutiga. Pekingi olümpial temposõidus hõbeda kaela saanud inglanna sõitis 6,6-kilomeetrist 13%-list tõusu edasi-tagasi kümme korda. Selle ajaga läbis ta Pooley 129,8 kilomeetrit.

"Ma tegin ära selle, mida ma ütlesin, et ma mitte kunagi ei tee," kirjutas Pooley sotsiaalmeedias.

I did that ride I said I would never do... It was both terrible and fantastic. Sometimes simultaneously. And apparently it was an #everesting record. Never ever ever again! But if I *were* to do another one????... I'd do it a bit differently. Some of my not-genius planning included: •13.5% average with insufficient gearing •Totally exposed climb on a hot sunny day •Twisty technical descent with blind corners, gravel, and grass cuttings. •Picking the day when every farmer on Haggenegg chose to mow their meadows and collect the hay: 6 tractors & hay carts were also doing reps of the climb all day ???????? •Running out of food and water on every climb from 5 onwards (I just didn't plan for enough) •Being a magnet for horseflies ???? I don't know what this says about how badly I stink! But it was a happy day despite a few discomforts. I wanted a challenge, and to find my limits ... and I did. Or maybe my limits found me ???? I would like to thank: •Liz for being the loveliest supporter I could imagine. Plus that McDonald's stop on the way home...???? @johnwillwhitt for the co-planning and company. @tim_pigott #coach for getting me to the happy healthy place I needed to be for this. @hells500 for their help verifying the segment ascent in advance. @rhodespatterson for setting the bar so damn high! •Equipment partners: @wyndymilla @astutowheels @rotorbike @wahoofitnessofficial @i_ris.cc •All my cycling buddies for the brilliant company on a few fun rides this year ???? #themountainswerecalling #happyplace #steilistgeil #neveragain #neversaynever #cyclingswitzerland Video by @ironplums ????????

Everesting kujutab endast ühe ja sama tõusu peal edasi-tagasi sõitmist seni kuni läbitud on 8848 tõusumeetrit ehk sama palju, kui on kõrgust Mount Everestil.
