The Only Crank to do the HHH in 2020

Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Walt Berend did it, on the hottest day of the year, the virtual HHH. If you see him, give him a high-five. He set the goal years ago to the HHH every year until he is 70 years old. This year's event was cancelled and turned into a virtual event. He could have easily excused himself out of this year's obligation. He didn't. He kept his promise to himself, and he did it. Kudos to you Mr. Walt. You already had my respect, you just heaped another pile on top of that. And just for the record, he would have performed much better if he wasn't dragging me along for the first half of the ride.

Who is in for a 100 Miler?
