Figure this post is worth putting up on my old account because it's in the spirit of the more wild adventures I often got into when I was younger!
I wanted a project that was a little bigger and more "out there" this year (or at least out there for a while!). I recently attempted the California 14ers on foot/bike in a week. I managed to finish in 8 days, 8 hours, and 39 minutes for a new fastest known effort.
It was a personal epic and major adventure with some inevitable big swings in highs and lows and uncertainty and a few times going way deep past "hitting the wall".
I finally finished a write up this week after some quality chill time and settling back down at work. It's almost all here - probably about as close as you can get - good, bad, and at least the interesting stuff! Hope some of you guys enjoy!:

Thanks. This rural internet connection always does double submissions for odd things at times!

That is pretty audacious. Even more gnarly considering how many of your calories came from sodas and fast food.

Just read it.
Thanks for posting up.
EDIT I could see needing 15000 calories a day on a challenge like this.
I liked the photo of the full steak and egg breakfast with hash browns and a side order of bacon on the left and wheat toast with three packets of jelly on the right. Mmmm.
