Yep!

I think the record is still 7:41 by Adam Merritt in 2016.

Hi to Mowgli! We loved Cayman and miss him a lot.

Excellent! Unfortunately I have Covid and can't joggle the 5-ball 200m or backwards 5-ball 100m. Feel free to include my 3-ball 100m backwards in the men's open category. Thanks!

@@MarathonJoggler No need! Just filmed the 3rd entrant in Men's Open tonight! Get well soon -- blech COVID sucks!

Thanks! A little rusty, but hopefully some better results for the next round.

​@@MarathonJoggler Yeah, I feel you on the rustiness -- I need to rein in a few things in my training if I'm going to be happy with my times, but I've reserved any major time improvement goals until next year (I had some nasty flare-ups of PF in Block A...trying to work through that at the moment). Are you working on anything specific outside of the official event list? I know there are a few others toying around w/ a 3b5K, 3b10K, and a few other very niche runs, so I'm trying to recruit anyone interested in case 3 or more want to compete in any of those. Also, are there any official events that you'd like to see in future years? The likelihood next year is that we'll have a small virtual event list for those who aren't going to the in-person festival and a meet as done in 2019 and prior at the IJA Festival, but we've had at least a small-but-steady group of virtual jogglers that has expanded the potential breadth of the competition, which is cool. Anyway, lemme know. 😎

@@djsterf Really appreciate the virtual events as I’ve always wanted to take part but was never able to fit the trip to the IJA festival into my schedule. I like all the events you’ve scheduled. I might try the 3b 5K, and was thinking about a 5b backwards 100m as a super-niche submission but I don’t expect you’d get three people doing that one. Hope your PF clears up.

@@MarathonJoggler lol funny that you should suggest backwards -- we had several do that last year. I need to message a few people about it.

@@djsterf I might also try the 3b backwards 100m for fun (well, it's all for fun).

Hey Oleg! I use Sportballs from Sport Juggling Company. Love them! www.sportjugglingco.com/sportco_bags.html

I don't know of any other 4-ball joggling records. I agree that clubs should have their own joggling category they're much more difficult to control at a quick running speed.

@@MarathonJoggler Agreed, joggling with 3 balls becomes second nature after a while whereas the timing with clubs always requires concentration. 4 ball joggling is very elite, I'm intrigued as to what time I could do for the mile. Keep up the awesome work!

Thanks Ashley! Yes, the record was a success. Great to meet you. Wish we were still there. -Michal and Dianne

Thanks Adam. Dianne was always great at stand-ups, and apparently still is, despite several changes in careers.

Excellent! I haven't done a four-ball race yet, but the pattern is a lot more fun than I thought it would be. Just 11 drops for a 5K is very good -- it's easy to get off-sync with four,

Both involve comprehensive hand-eye coordination and athleticism, so I'd say yes.

Not this year as I'm just back from an injury, but I'll be cheering on Michael Bergeron and Graydon Snider, who will be trying to break my record for the 3-ball joggling half-marathon.

That's amazing! It takes a lot of patience and skill to get to that level.
