The distance task in F3B is not considered a world record. BTW it is at 35 legs (Espen Torp NOR) 35 legs x 150m = 5,25km
To get a distance world record takes lots of time and preperation. There is no doubt that there are many others capable of making a new record in distance A to B or the record Goal and return (two separate records). BUT you cant just fly it and meassure afterwards just because you had good thermals that day.... The rules state a few things that needs preperation and good friends.
