That wasn't FC's quote. It was taken from the website he linked in the OP.

This Cliff Young guy is indeed a badass.
I was reading between the lines.

Here's another hard old dude. Aurthur Webb. Races Badwater every year.
Two months before Badwater, Webb, a 66-year old retired Santa Rosa postal worker and a Badwater legend, begins destroying his toenails. He runs five miles in running shoes way too tight. The toenails then slowly begin to die and, excuse me for continuing, if everything works out perfectly, Webb will yank his last dead one just before the race.

Jack Kirk is another...
Jack Kirk, known as the 'Dipsea Demon', holds the record of most consecutive competitions in the Dipsea, having finished 67 consecutive Dipseas from 1930 until 2002. (There was no official Dipsea Race in 1932 or 1933, due to economic reasons, nor in 1942–1945 due to World War II.) Kirk finished his last complete race in 2002. He started but did not finish in 2003, but did reach the highest elevation, at the top of "Cardiac Hill," at the age of 96. He is the oldest person to have competed in the race. Kirk died on January 29, 2007, at age 100.[2] Jack's story was documented in the 2004 film "The Dipsea Demon"[6

Brett's not very old but he's a hard guy. Very quick in the technical stuff. He has one Leg. Uses no prosthetic and races solo ultra distance MTB.
Brett Wolfe, 35 years old, is regarded by many to be the toughest mountain bike racer in the world. Those who have ever competed with him are the first to agree. Specializing in endurance mountain bike races, he has completed an impressive slate, including numerous 24 hour solos, La Ruta de los Conquistadores across Costa Rica twice, the TransAlp Challenge across the Austrian and Italian Alps, and the TransRockies Challenge across the Canadian Rockies twice. There is not a race he has entered that he hasn't finished. Brett is truly in a league by himself.

When he first came out locally, we all treated him like some special case, then he started doing 24 hour races solo, no support team. My sponsor picked him up for a time and then people started to just make sure they didn't get beat by the one legged guy. I know at least one dude who broke a collarbone trying to keep up with him on a downhill.

Here's an ultra athelete that several IGX'er got to meet recently. http://the50zone.com/c-j-ong-jr Really impressive guy who has competed in natural BB while competing in events like Ultraman, RAAM and triple distance Ironman triathlons. He's in his mid-fifties and training for the Norseman Triathlon. http://www.nxtri.com/

Despite the urges young Fats is having, CJ is straight,married and doesn't do pistols, instead relying on lunges and bulgarian split squats to supplement his squatting.
This fella is a good friend of mine. His training is legit and so is his mindset. He also rescued a pit bull in need of a home, recently. Cee's an all around great guy.

I'd corresponded a little with him before the seminar but wasn't sure what to expect in person. His depth of experience is pretty phenomenal.

I thought you wanted this to be a serious discussion pertaining to of BAMF's only..or did you get titillated and want it back to the gay setting?

I'm hoping it's the former.

This is the a trailer for a documentary about a 96 yr old man, Jack Kirk who ran the grueling Dipsea race a world record 68 consecutive times. He lived alone on in the Sierra Nevadas with no running water, electricity or house.

Martin Strel
Image

When I first read about Martin Strel swimming the Amazon in February 2007, his predicament took me back to a report years ago of an elephant spotted some 50 miles out to sea in the Bay of Bengal. It had lost all sense of direction and was swimming further and further out. As a passing ship altered course and drew near, the crew noticed blood in the water and realised that the elephant was surrounded by a swarm of sharks. It could offer no form of resistance and swam on desperately, nor could the sailors save it, so they stopped the engines and could only look on in helpless silence as the poor animal was torn apart and devoured in the waves.
......

When Strel was about 10, a troop of Yugoslav soldiers walked by and, seduced by the pool, challenged each other to a race. Whoever won would be awarded a crate of beer. Strel, at half their age, asked if he could join in, and walked off with the prize.

His original ambition was to become a gymnast, but he grew too big. His coach advised him to concentrate on swimming. 'You're a born swimmer,' he told him. After he left school he moved to Ljubljana, lived alone, tried his hand at a variety of jobs - bricklayer, garage mechanic - and as a form of release gambled and taught guitar at the local music academy. But he never forgot the advice of his coach. He swam in the local pools, which he hated, then branched out into the rivers around him.

Eventually in 1978, at 24, Strel turned professional and became part of an elite group of marathon swimmers who were invited to compete for prize money around the world, in races between Capri and Naples, along the Suez Canal, in the rivers of South America and the lakes of the North (he much prefers to swim in fresh water). He was now earning a living as a swimmer and locked into an arduous sequence of engagements that he could not afford to turn down.

Marathon swimmers are a breed apart. Above all, they look different. When compared to the long, sleek, elastic, streamlined bodies of Olympic swimmers, they barely look like athletes at all. Photographs reveal their grizzled faces, their stocky frames and stubby legs, their pendulous breasts and protruding stomachs. Bison rather than gazelles. Some of the best look middle-aged, and often are. The Egyptian Abdellatief Abouheif, the most admired of open-water racers, was still winning in his forties. Strel swum the Amazon at 52.

Probably one of the toughest ultra endurance athletes of all time regardless of sport.

John Stamstad

Image
Image
Image

1992 First crossing of the Australian continent by bicycle-The Australian Bicycle Challenge, a 3,500-mile (5,600 km) off-road race through the remote Outback.
Iditasport Race (170 mile) - Alaska -1993, 1994, 1995, 1996
Iditasport Race (350 mile) - Alaska - 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000
Ultra-Marathon Cycling Association 24 Hour Off-Road World Record - 352 miles (566 km)
1996 First solo entry and first solo finish of the 24 Hours of Canaan (He entered as a team using four variations of his name) and bested more than half of the teams. He also remained undefeated in the solo class at 24 Hours of Canaan (and then Snowshoe) until his retirement in 2001.
1999 pioneered unsupported Divide Racing on the Great Divide Mountain Bike Route - 2,500 miles (4,000 km) and 200,000 feet (61,000 m) of climbing. His individual time trial of 18 days and 5 hours stood for 5 years until it was eclipsed in the inaugural Great Divide Race.

John Stamstad is a frail-looking guy with wispy blond shoulder length hair and red skin. He never uses sunscreen. He's 29 but sometimes people guess he's older. He's five eight, 135 pounds, five percent body fat. He's so skinny that when he walks you can see his pelvis sticking through his skin, conveying the impression of a hipshot horse. His shoulders are about four times wider than his hips. When he sits up and rides no handed he looks oddly top-heavy -- like a cyclone.
To avoid bonking on his Great Divide ride (2,466 mostly dirt-road miles and climbing perhaps 200,000 vertical feet), he chugged pure canola oil until he could get to the next rural gas station and refuel with Spam, Little Debbie snack cakes, and a 1-pound block of cheese.

In a 100-mile race in Pennsylvania he broke his collarbone after 20 miles but continued on to win and set a course record.

Stamstad became the first rider ever to solo the 24 Hours of Canaan, besting half of the 380 five-person teams

Stamstad won the Iditabike, a 160-mile midwinter race across the Alaskan tundra in the last four years

Stamstad won the Iditasport Extreme, a 350-mile race from Anchorage to McGrath, Alaska. His strategy? Ride 65 hours straight (read: no sleep in sub-zero weather), which won him the race, beat the course record by two days, and his closest competitors by 12 hours.

Stamstad suffered a first-lap crash that left him with a compressed neck vertebra in the 24 Hours of Canaan but continued to finish the race without being able to move his head

he knows he's mentally ready for a race when he can do a five-hour stint on the wind trainer, maintaining a heart rate of 155 beats per minute while staring at a blank wall
