Mountain Hike (Patreon)

The three women finally stopped for a break at a scenic lookout abutting a highway rest stop. All three were Boomgirl augmented at high doses, and each had developed the superhuman strength, endurance, muscle mass, and bone density that was typical of such women. The trio had been hiking for two hours and had climbed 3000 feet over five miles, a pace that hardly any man alive could match.

They'd embarked with two of their boyfriends (Dan and Hunter) and a third man (Justin) who was a co-worker of one of the other two. The three men had tried to keep up for the first mile but then gave up in exhaustion and slowed their pace to one they could sustain.

Hillary, the biggest and strongest of the three women, leaned over the edge of the trail and spotted the three men, a few switchbacks behind them, maybe about 800 feet below. "I see them!" she yelled to the others. "If we're going to wait for them we'll be here a while." 

Normally, hikers carrying a lot of muscle were slower than those who were more slender, but if a Boomgirl dose was sufficient to render a woman truly hypermuscular, it tended to dramatically augment her cardiovascular and cellular energy capabilities, too. With typically longer legs, fit men could usually keep up with augmented women on flat ground, but hiking up an incline was another matter, entirely. 

"We'd be further along than that if we'd just carried them, " Brittany complained, "why did we bring them if they were just going to hold us back?"
