Was Andrew able to put together a 14er Dance-Off video? Breaking the record is great and all, but it can't hold a candle to winning the 14ers Dance-Off Challenge.MonGoose wrote:What an exciting 10 days it has been watching this new speed record being set, one mountain at a time. I was skeptical given the amount of snow and the continuous rains of the monsoon season, but Andrew persevered. Andrew, I would like to congratulate you on accomplishing such an amazing feat and offer a special "Thank You" to your support crew (Kyle, Andrea and others) for all of their efforts. Cave Dog, congratulation on setting such an amazing record that has held for the past 15 years and being part of a lasting legacy. Lastly, I would like to say thank you to Bill Middlebrook for designing and supporting this website, where we can celebrate Colorado's highest mountains and the amazing accomplishments of those who climb them.
I can't wait to celebrate with everyone at tonights Denver 14er HH.

I haven't had time to go through all the recent posts so I apologize if any of these are duplicates, but here are a few pics from last night and early this morning:

And a few more from this morning:
I enjoyed hanging out and meeting some of the friends and family. History in the making, just incredible. Also it was a distinct pleasure meeting and chatting with Cave Dog on the way down. Congratulations Andrew!

Re: 2015 14er Speed Record Attempt
Interesting. Corey and I were with Andrew and Luke between Lincoln and Bross (oops, did I say that?) and Andrew was talking about this. If I remember right, he was trying to consume 400 cal/hr while he was moving. From my post, I think he was moving 18 hrs per day for 7,200 cal/day. Bingo.queue_ball wrote:I refuse to be out-geeked, so I took the statistics for verts and distance and average ground speed to compute the caloric intake that would be required to accomplish all that Andrew accomplished. And without even factoring in the maintenance requirement to keep him warm, I estimate that he would have needed a MINIMUM of 72,000 kcal (food calories) over the approximately 10 days. Would be interesting to know how many calories he actually consumed; that's three times the amount an 80-kg man needs just to stay the same weight under sedentary conditions.

Re: 2015 14er Speed Record Attempt
It just occurred to that Andrew still would have another 10.5 hours to beat the record, you know, if he hadn't completely smashed the record already and were still out there.

Bill, I take it this thread will be relegated to the hall of fame eventually? 140+ pages and counting

Re: 2015 14er Speed Record Attempt
I was at the gym today. I was exhausted and wanted to stop. But then I thought WWAHD? I kept pushing. I think your biggest accomplishment, Andrew, is almost Valvanoesque. "Don't give up. Don't ever give up." From one dad to another, one love

Re: 2015 14er Speed Record Attempt
Greetings, all.
Here is a video clip of Andrew's finish on Longs last night(...er...this morning??). You'll have to forgive the quality because I am short, I was in the back, it was dark, and it is an iPhone.

It sure was great to see (and meet so many of you for the first time) yesterday.
