WHERE DO WE GO NOW? SEE YOU IN 2027

All right, there have been some questions about what the video actually means and relative to when we're doing this again. So I thought I'd share a little more clarity about what has to happen to make this work. We can't just turn around and do it right now. It will take me probably a week or two to re-plot everything and get that done. I have some other things that I need to get through to verify. But then also for Guinness, they have to pre-approve these routes. That takes them many weeks to a couple of months. So this is not a turnaround right now. I would if I could.

We also have crew whose schedules we have to respect. They have other lives besides this, as do I. I have to figure out my plan as well. Our current plan is to target this exact same time frame next year for weather reasons. It tends to be the best time of the year.

I was also asked by my sister to share something funny that just occurred to me about an hour or two ago. That when I made this route or when I was copying it over for the first half and then creating the second half, I remember thinking to myself, man, since all the elevation is in the west, how is my route 151,000 feet of climb and descent when the current record holders was 90,000?

And I know why now, because that one day alone, well, two days alone accounted for about 20,000 feet of direct up a mountain and direct back down two days in a row, which for clarity, Mount Everest is 29,000. So clearly there's a lot of learnings here. There's a lot of takeaways for me. But frankly, I'm going to stick to one of the biggest ones is; "holy crap, we can do this." I mean, just this has been an adventure. It's been fun to share with you. I really appreciate all the comments and the well wishes and keeping us motivated. I'm actually still hoping to hear from more of you what this has actually inspired you to do. It doesn't have to be running. Something that you've been wanting to do for some period of time, we'd love to hear from you on the website, and share your story because it would be very energizing for me to know that this has helped a lot of you actually take actions towards a goal that you're all chasing.
