To put things into perspective

It's difficult to know just how this event compares to Arvid's previous endeavors. For example, Arvid competed in the Rocky Mountain 1200, a 1200km race in the Rocky Mountains (I guess the title kinda gives it away). In this ride, he has completed 1200km in a time that would have won that competition: 58.5 hours. Riding the Boston-Montreal-Boston twice (another 1200km race), he would have beaten both his times from that ride. Riding the Paris-Brest-Paris, an enormous 1200km ultramarathon event, Arvid would have placed in the top 5% of 4,000 participants.

Not a bad showing, considering that he has to do it 8.75 consecutive times.
