Top man. I hope he wins it. I did a 4.4 miles charity run in my Dainese suit and Shark RSR2 helmet. I gave up after 2 miles. I couldn't breath, couldn't move my legs and I was carrying an extra 10 kg.  I did the London Marathon in 2006 and it was hard enough in running kit.

Didn't the last guy to try this end up in the back of a ambulance on a drip?

Where's the helmet?! I did it in a one piece leather suit (with armour) and a full face helmet, check it out here: www.nearlythere.co.nz
