[edit] Penthouse dash record

The penthouse is the sloping roof about 7 feet (2 m) above the floor — it continues for 3 of the 4 sides of the court.

Mr. Fahey apparently also holds the "Penthouse Dash" world record at 6.83 seconds, run at the Hobart Real Tennis Club, around 1988. The "dash" is to run the full length of the top of the three sides of the penthouse from one end to the other. At Hobart (based on Noel and Clark) the distance would be between 157.5 feet (48 m) and 181.5 feet (55.3 m) — depending on how close to the edge (bandeau) he ran (and not counting jumping the corners). He did it barefooted and injured himself in the process (as is common). [1] — Eoghanacht talk 20:41, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
