Leadville Marathon 2007

Well, what can I say? Sometimes you have good days and sometimes you have bad days - and there's nothing you can do about it!
Today at Leadville - - - I KICKEd ASS!!!!
Couldn't help it.
45th place in 5:09:50
Last year I was 57th in 5:22:10 - so 12m20s off my time.
Man, that hurt so bad. I ran like a maniac.
Kind of aggravating... I forgot to take my wallet out of my pocket before the race. Didn't find it until the race was over. I passed a guy and was in 44th place. He struggled and passed me two blocks from the finish. I sprinted for my usual 100yd dash, but it wasn't enough. The weight of that wallet alone - no doubt - put me back in 45th place.
But it all made for a more-entertaining finish. And I have a new acquaintance.
The weather is so perfect! The mountains are so very green. It's beautiful. I'm so happy. These Leadville trail races are SOOOO fun!

I car-pooled with one of my LT100 pacers, Dave B. He'll be coming in soon so I need to head out and see if I can get a good photo of him. And I've got other friends to snap shots at.
Awards @ 5pm.
Hope everyone had as much fun this weekend as me!
