He's one tough guy. I'd like to know how he would do without the weights.

Re: the great Paddy Doyle

I'd like to know how fast he could run 8.35 miles, up a 4.2% grade, with a 3.1 meter headwind, in 88% humidity, dressed in a black tux with a fireman's hat and purple bowling shoes, while whistling the songs of Grand Funk Railroad and carrying a concert grand piano (any color). Now THAT'S an achievement we'll all take seriously!
