Bill and Mike at the start

Yesterday Bill completed the Pike’s Peak Ascent, a 13.32 mile ‘run’ up to the top of Pike’s Peak at 14,112 feet with an elevation gain of over 7,000 feet. He met up with his co-worker Mike and with very little training (aside from the Ironman) was doing great until the altitude hit him at 12,000 feet. He made it to the top of his first 14er in 5 hours, and I don’t think he plans on doing this race again for several years :).
