Leadville 100

The weather is beautiful here in Leadville, Co. ALthough the air seems a bit thin for the few from sea level that are daring to run or crew the Leadville 100. Al Harman and Gilles Barbeau are going strong and looking good. I met them at May Queen which is mile 14. Al arrived at 6:18 (2hrs18min) and Gilles came in at 6:40 which was 4 min ahead of last year's attempt. When Gilles arrived, I shouted and cheered him on. I even cheered him on with a few Happy Birthdays since this is how he chose to spend it. The crowd had fun and cheered him on as well.

I will update throughout the race as wifi permits. In the meantime, keep these crazy fools in your thoughts and send good karma. Both of them have unfinished business on the course and I am really hoping it goes well for both of them.
