You should see how it feels when you're at one of those Ironman races, and they start asking you stand, until the last man standing has completed more than fifty.
Even my brother has done twelve with four at Kona. He's signed up for another next year and I didn't have the heart to tell my wife I might get into another. They are a lot of work to train for.
On one of my first centuries, I was riding with this cute girl, and asked her how many centuries she had done, and she responded only twenty but that she was behind because she gave up marathons after running fifty. I thought fifty marathons, no thank you. But her ass was sweet as a result of the work, so maybe she was on to something.
