Leadman Challenge 2024 // Leadville Colorado

My story of taking on the 2024 Leadville Lead Challenge:
You may have heard of the Leadville 100 Mountain Bike Race or the 100 mile Trail Run but the Lead Challenge includes ALL of the Leadville races.
After a DNF in the 100 mile Trail Run last year (2023) I decided to double down and take on the biggest endurance challenge I have ever faced. This is my story...
Lead Challenge Description from their website:
Take on the toughest, grittiest, gnarliest endurance challenge we could throw together: 5 trail running and MTB events, covering 282.4 miles, all at 10,000+ feet of Rocky Mountain elevation. To conquer the Lead Challenge, you’ll need some lead in your veins.
This event isn’t for the faint of heart. It isn’t even for the “average of heart” or “semi-courageous of heart.” This event is only for the toughest of the tough, those endurance athletes who can look at the epic endeavor ahead - completing all 5 of Leadville’s’ most demanding events - and smile. Here’s the list of (literal) mountains you’ll climb:
