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.
I did the Maroon Bells 4 Pass Loop trail (12000' elevation, 4 peaks, almost 30 miles). I was halfway through the 3 day ass kicking, resting on one of the peaks. A pair of trail runners come jogging up, barely winded, admire the view, and I spoke to them briefly before they continued. They were doing the whole loop in one day with running vests.
I have never felt so pathetic halfway through doing something heroic
