    I rode it this year, and it was amazing. I wish I could have averaged 267 watts for the whole climb though :). This video was great. I love seeing the sites again and kind of revisiting the memory of such an amazing ride.

    I enjoyed how Nathan is comfortably chatting, singing, and spinning away despite the clear demands of this course,.as illustrated by Caley's comparative focus and perceivable effort. Kudos to both for a great effort and enjoyable video. Obviously, pro over amateur all the way here, although I liked the tongue-in-cheek banner before the start suggesting different.

    makes this "feat" look easy.

    You climb, you lost weight or fight gravity. Try muscles up with a belly, this is really hard. However, if you lost fat, you make muscles. To be fat is not bad for working out. Do you need to stretch your muscles a lot, this is really important for a swimmer?
