After a full summer of racing, it all comes down to this - Leadville 100 miles Trail Run. The Race Across The Sky! 30 hours to run 100 miles and 15,000 ft of gain in the rugged Colorado Mountains above 10,000 ft of elevation. As the Grand Finale of the Leadville Trail Race Series, completing this race would officially make me a Leadman! And, I’ve done it last year in 24h23m, so in theory, that’s no problem, right?

Well, no... I’m still hurting from my bike fall last weekend during Leadville 100 MTB. Mostly rib pain that makes me short of breath, and bruised legs. But even beyond that, it really wasn’t my day, and this race turned into a major grind fest. What a nice reminder that in ultrarunning, you can never take things for granted.
Luckily, I had an amazing crew again this week! With their encouragement and support, Nora, LeAnne and Mark made sure I reached the finish line - crewing and pacing me all night long! They even brought me my favorite treats - but my stomach was having none of it. Also, thank you to Brian, Katie, Micky, Tracy, Jack, Cory - for all the fun times this summer.
Leadville is an amazing place, and I’m incredibly grateful to have had the opportunity to race the Leadman this year! Thank you to the LifeTime Foundation for letting me represent them, and thank you to Ken, Merilee, Cole and the whole Leadville Trail Race Series for making my summer unforgettable.
