Re: 2015 14er Speed Record Attempt
Andrew,
Very hearty congratulations! Your achievement and dedication go beyond parallel. You have set a high bar not only for future FKTs and endurance events generally, but you and your crew have have demonstrated many admirable traits--grace, integrity, coordination, teamwork, humor, humility, and humanity--along the way. A lasting legacy, indeed.

Throwing in my congratulations to Andrew and his support crew. What an amazing feat you accomplished. Its been fun watching your progress, cheering you on, and discussing the whole endeavor with my family and friends.
Also thanks to the spreadsheet gurus, it was great having so much information readily available.
ugh I guess I will have to actually work today...

Fwiw, Ricky Denesik has held it three times (once as a team with Rick Trujillo). Cave Dog's and Andrew's pages both give a nice review of FKTs.doggler wrote:Congratulations Andrew - first-time REPEAT record holder. .

Congratulations ! Inspiring to us all indeed. Thank you for the encouragement that you have provided via your 9 day (and change) adventure. Was amazing to watch it unfold. Also I'm sure all the bosses of world are grateful as their employees can now go back to work. And you can get some sleep!

Re: 2015 14er Speed Record Attempt
Didn't have a chance to check this last night, but expected to see it this morning. A hearty congratulations, Andrew, on a truly amazing accomplishment! If it hadn't been so publicized and documented I would have at first thought this was all just a hoax. It is truly incomprehensible that a human body can endure such a feat! So glad you are safe and sound! Thanks for a truly remarkable ride!
