I wrote to Tom to ask him why they withdrew the record claim
(although I already knew what the answer would be). He wrote:

On the 353 km flight I put two claims (declared + free out-return)
as you could see, thinking you can catch two records with one flight. When
making the proper claim, we were told you cannot make two claims on one flight.
So we went for 353 km declared and 339 km free  The 343 km free out-return
was messed up by our national aero-club and my claim wasn't sent in during the
first week.
