The Leadville 100M Trail Run......

By this time next week I should be relaxing in Leadville after having completed my 2nd Leadville 100 of three attempts.  I started the season the Leadman Tri in AZ with my Nephew Timmy Picciott.  I followed it with a couple of sprint tri's, the St Jude's Country Music Marathon, a 5k or two, trail runs in the San Bernadino Mt's, the Summer Death Race in June, The Leadville 50M trail run in July and followed by IM Lake Placid the last weekend in July.

Awesome Crew & Pacers
Successful 2011 Race!

Am I trained and ready for the L100?  That's a good question that will only get answered by this time next week.  I know that I'm not as fast or as disciplined with my routine, but I kind of like that.  I'm 7lbs heavier right now, but hope to shed 3-4 of those pounds before next saturday rolls around.  I thought I'd dedicate this post to my previous attempts and my crews/pacers..check out the pics.....
