Well one of my years goals was to run Leadville and finish. I had some ups and downs in my training and running. As Leadville quickly approached I have to admit I had a couple doubts as to the outcome. We went to Colorado about 12 days before the race and two days after I arrived I still had trouble breathing and running. After about 7 days I started to feel "normal" and the running got easier.
The day of the race came very eary! 4am is still 4am. I was excited and nervous but bascially ready to go. I threw up about 3 times on the walk to the start .......nerves! But it was cool to see so many good runners and the whole show that was going on.
I won't go into all the bloody details of the race but it was probably the hardest thing I have ever done. I was very happy to finish in 29 hours and 31 minutes and 4 secs. The course was hard and I was very very happy to be done and very tired.

That reminds me, I have to look up how Daniel did, the other Fat Ass that I know about that was at Leadville.
