Hell, even watching the waitress bring me a cheeseburger makes me sweat. I'd die about 11 feet into this challenge.

Along with cheering them along and issuing encouragements as you sip your refreshing malt beverage. Now that's what I call a marathon. Well, technically, a half-marathon, but we won't nitpick in the face of RainMan's trudging, meandering victory of the hill.

I once drove to the top of Pike's Peak, and the lack of oxygen that high got me winded just walking from my car to the gift shop.

As I sit here eating peanut butter m&M's and read this tale of extraordinary physical endurance, I am reminded as a child of many trip up Pike's Peak with the family. There are cars that don't make it up Pike's Peak. Congrats man.:clap:

That's what she said.

Congrats Rain Man!

When I was a kid, we took the train up to the top of Pike's Peak. On the ride down, I got sick and threw up on the train. You could see a stream of puke going under everyone's seats as all the other passengersfreaked out and moved to the other side of the train.

Great job, Rain Man!

In 8th grade I went to a class trip to a pretty big amusement park. They had a ride called "The Rotor" where everyone would stand up against the wall and it would spin fast enough that when the floor dropped you would be pinned up against the wall virtually unable to move because of centrifugal force.

In the middle of the ride one of the other kids vomited and instead of hitting the floor it went all over him and right up against the wall. It then proceeded in a deliberate, vibrating motion to each person opposite way of what the ride was spinning.

It never reached me but I'll never forget the looks of horror on the people across the ride from me as stomach bile and undigested pop corn, hot dogs and sugar candy made its way across the wall as the were pinned helplessly against the delivery system. Water boarding can't be a whole lot worse.

It only hit two people besides the guy who chucked his oats but I guarantee those people had nightmares about that ride.

It was awesome.

Thats an awesome accomplishment, congrats

You crazy asshole.

That is awesome.

Nice! Doing my first 14er was what inspired me to completely give up smoking. The altitude definitely lets you know where you and your lungs stand.

:clap: Awesome story !

That's one heck of an accomplishment, Mr. Rain Man.

Legion are the automobiles that were unable to climb Pike's Peak. You should be very proud.

that's bad ass, congrats

I want to puke my guts out just reading that.

Congrats Rain Man!
