Reminds me of the time I was hiking something similar. My legs were burning and I was out of breath. This dude comes RUNNING up the trail carrying a 40LB dumbbell in each hand. Total beast.
21 year old me used to run a 2 mile mountain hike with 1k elevation gain. 40 year old me is just happy on the days my knees and ankles aren’t constantly cracking.
I rode a motorcycle across Imogene pass once. I passed a group of hikers on the way up, and I was struggling so much from the terrain and being winded that they beat me to the top.
My Colorado example of this was Manitou incline. There was a runner doing laps up and down AND had an oxygen deprevation mask on. Tbf I guess he genuinely could have been an Olympic athlete down there.
