Leadville 100 miles Ultra Marathon - The race across the sky

Running Leadville 100 miles Ultra Marathon – an iconic trail race in the Colorado Mountains. This is a challenging 100 miles ultra marathon with very tight cutoff to complete the race. There is no secret here - this race will push you beyond your physical limits – where only your Grit, Gut and Determination can help you cross that finish line.

I’ve raced it twice already, once under 25hrs, and the other time just barely made it to earn my Leadman pick axe. Moreover, if I complete it this year, this will be my 30th 100 miles ultra marathon. But I also came in with an odd feeling - somehow knowing that this wouldn't be an easy one. This year, the weather was particularly hot, which is both a blessing and a curse. No biggie, I can run in the heat thanks to Badwater 135. What I didn't account for was a salt pills getting stuck in my throat at mile 40. I got violently sick, and the rest of the race was a slug fest, never able to get back to eating and having lost so much fluid and calories. It'll take more to stop me, but that certainly made for an...interesting day! Now I wonder - can I ever race back under 25hours? Maybe next year! Thanks for watching!
