Re: My 14er record attempt
For what it is worth I have been playing with the numbers and he can go easy today, take some time after the elks to rest and then push at a fairly hard pace through the Sawatch and Front Range and still crush the record. I am not worried. Homie is just resting for a big day tomorrow (I hope). Go Homie Go!!!

Well, if he has time to play with, he should hit the Mt. Princeton Hot Springs and take a well-deserved soak.its_not_a_tuba wrote:For what it is worth I have been playing with the numbers and he can go easy today, take some time after the elks to rest and then push at a fairly hard pace through the Sawatch and Front Range and still crush the record.

I thought the consensus was that was best done on the top of the mountain?

Re: My 14er record attempt
It's over... Homie is done. Too much pain. Tool slow.
A lot more of my thoughts later, but thanks for everyone for now.
