On 10/26/2017 Michael DeRoche (deroche1 – TRData) became the first typist to complete 200,000 races on TypeRacer!
On behalf of TypeRacer, I want to congratulate him on both his incredible skill and dedication to competitive typing. Michael is not only the most dedicated typist in TypeRacer’s 9-year history, but has also held a variety of records (such as the fastest speed ever in a single race when he achieved 300wpm on a short text), and the TypeRacer Marathon record for 3,097 races in 24 hours.

(The Marathon leaderboard is here on TypeRacerData.com; more details on Marathons and how people actually achieve such feats are outlined in this blog post by ⦗𝐄𝐂𝐎𝐋⦘ ⦓☾✹✯𝚅𝚒𝚎𝚕𝚕𝚎✯✹☽⦔(viellain – TRData).)
Michael is a gifted typist, a TypeRacer moderator and active contributor to the community (back in the early days of moderation, he single-handedly researched and removed hundreds of cheaters and helped restore fair competition on the site), and most importantly, a good friend. Congrats Michael, and here’s to 100,000 more!
