silent reading 10/15

today i read about the competition for the oldest person to climb Mt. Everest. the article was about a 75 year old Japanese man named Yuichiro Miura, who is known for skiing down Everest in 1970. he also won the competition in 2003 when he was 70. miura trains every morning after waking up in a low oxygen room and putting on leg weights and a weighted backpack.
