Everesting World Record Update 2

[Jewbacca]

That is why this ride (and article) by Emma Pooley is so admirable:

Emma P is rad... She epitomizes hardcore. I would say she is more hardcore than the legend of the rent, which is WAY hardcore!

But he didn't do it.. He quit.... Again

I'm shocked

[Eldron]

Big mouth. No mettle.

[Pure Savage]

I'm shocked

Did not even make 1/2 way. 

 

This oke needs to harden up, everyone needs a ride or two where you crawl into a bus stop for 15 minutes, search your soul, then get back onto the bike and carry on.

[Stretch]

This is just a classic case of why it's best to just do stuff. Without the 'look at me' fanfare.

 

When you say 'I'm going to.. blah blah' then don't, you are a twazzle.

 

Just do stuff and if you really want to be rad with strangers, post a video/rap/monologue of what you did.

 

This just pangs of attention seeking and failure

Or like that dude that broke the record for all the munro's in Scotland.

classic, indeed he did!

8000 calorie ride? Haha my fat ass can do that in 10 hours hahaha

 

I won't get very far though

[GhostSixFour]

Haven't followed the whole thread, but my summary is, he just looking at the challenges they do on GCN and then shouts around how he will do the same thing then fails at it?

[Duane_Bosch]

So....10 hours is impressive. But it's not exactly mind bending. What's he going to do with all of those left over calories?

Needs someone to drive him into the middle of nowhere with no alternate method to get back other than cycle all the way and figure it out. Cycling round in circles near home or up and down a hill near home is too easy to give up if you are soft. Like cycling to DBN from GP without support, 300km in you realise it will suck as much going forward or giving up and going back and in the end you learn to just suffer better.

[Thor Buttox]

I think this guy is awesome. He tries something new every day. He doesn't mind failing, and practices at it until he succeeds at failing spectacularly. That is what happens when you really dedicate yourself to something and practice hard. It's the upside down world of vegan sausage and you guys will just never understand!

Agreed, this loop thing is too easy to throw in towel. 

 

Maybe also put the camera down and enjoy a ride.

I don't understand, he gave up because his hemorrhoid hurt.

 

Surely a perfect 4rsehole wouldn't have one ?

 

But still, he says he worked out that at the speed he was averaging, that he would have completed the 750km he had set out to do, so he claims it was actually a win.

 

ps. I did a little burst up Munro Drive this morning and if I just kept going at the same pace, I'd do a 6h30 Everest. I'm claiming the record.

Yeah, I can run at 2m52/km pace for 400m, so a sub2 marathon is achievable for me, even though the furthest I have ever run is 21k....

 

Why are we even giving this oke airtime anymore?

You forget to peel the pineapples ?
