Speed Hiking

[To_The_Top]

So with all this talk of speed hiking, what is your best times on those training hikes?

 

Like MT Si, Mailbox or Muir or others (like full on climbs )?

 

I know that many dont care about going fast , but when you are trying to get into shape for whatever, some train to go fast.

 

I always wonder how fast those runners go up Si who pass those guys in plastics and big packs with snowshoes and iceaxes. Two sides to the training issue .

No timers or letters needed , but I wonder how fast some go on these hills.

That's no kind of criteria, I want to see a notary stamp embossed on your witnesses, and a Big Lou seal of approval, or I'm calling bullshit on your 17 minute Mt Si round trip.

I've done a brisk walk up to the top of Si in 1hr 17mins. I didn't bother with round-trip cos that hurts the old knees. I reckon if I bothered to run, I can get somewhere around an hour. In fact, why not have a cc.com Si challenge with a Keg at the top and the bottom?

as long as you don't swing your arms like those outtashape housewives in the suburbs around my office do.

We used to have something called the Chunder Mile. Every 100 metres, you had to drink a pint. That's 16 pints my friends. The winner was the first one to cross the line without puking.

[Fence_Sitter]

I bet a girl at work she couldn't down 3 liters of water, she was puking at 2.5 .
