    This was my first attempt at the Leadville 100 and it took EVERYTHING to get across the finish line. Even though it was extremely hard, I absolutely loved the experience. I'll never forget my fellow runners, the crowds, the nature, and the full moon! I owe a huge thanks to my crew--my mom, Dana, and Xanthe, and my all star pacers, Amelia Boone and Darcy Piceu. I can't wait to do it again ;) *My shoes are the Hoka Speedgoats 4.

      lol, i bet it felt like a brick at the 80mile marker , in the meanwhile if you ever decide to adventure over the pond and visit the UK for a bit of two wheeling , I can hook you up with a friend and organiser of the Hard Moors ultra race serious , 160 or 110 should be your cup of tea
