    I don't care if he comes first, third or last. I admire Anton not for his talent, but for his passion ... Running, cycling, climbing ... Pure inspiration. Congratulations on your return, mate.

    First tears when he discussed his injuries. I ran this race this year. And reliving it through billies eyes is nothing short of magical. I struggled with IT band issues starting at mile 23 and suffered til mile 97.3 when I hit the 30hr cutoff. Good job Anton, it’s inspiring to know how long you have worked through your issues. I will do the same.

    Great job Billy and Anton. As an aging back of the pack 50km runner who’s best (aka mediocre, non competitive) days are long gone and most of my 40s lost to long term injury, I admit to being emotionally invested in Anton’s return. It’s just great to see him healthy enough to finish Leadville again and feels like the sport has found a jigsaw piece that was missing.

Lastly but far from least: Great film as always Billy Yang!!! (and nice touch of Anton's style of music preference there at the end ;-) )
