Run: Golden Ponds (20.08 mi @ 08:32)
Alright, AUGUST HAS ARRIVED. 19 days and 7 hours until the race begins. So for that many more days and surely thereafter, you are going to hear about this shit if you are reading. Be prepared. In about 2 weeks, you will be yelling at the screen…run this thing already! I hope to start laying out the plans, strategy, course, preview, and more over the coming weeks as time permits. Hopefully, it will inform, entertain and excite you about the adventure that I (and my crew) are about to undertake.
This race has been 5 years in the making for me. Somebody asked me last week on my business trip…so why did you start running? I made up some bullshit excuse about fitness. The truth is…I wanted to run this race. The Leadville Trail 100.
I went 20.08 miles with an elevation gain of 333 feet in 02:51:30, which is an average pace of 08:32. Heart rate average was 137. View my GPS data on Garmin Connect.
