Friday the mailman brought me the good news that I got in the Leadville 100 lottery. This means I’ll be going for my 6th Leadville 100 finish.
I fully intend to do more than 6 weeks of training like I did last year. Last year it couldn’t be said I raced Leadville. I merely rode it very slow and steady and finished over 3 hours slower than my best time.
Joanne reports that somewhere around 10,000 entries were received. I expected a big jump in entries with all the publicity from Lance racing Leadville last year but didn’t expect the number to be that big.

Niice! If Lawerence gets in you can both give Weinsy a run for is money by riding a tandem!
Thanks Rob! I'm taking the past LT experiences and putting them to good use this year. Not getting in last year was a blessing in disguise — my RMSF was confirmed by a blood test… ironically I was in a grad level Wildlife Epidemiology class at the same time…
Pb-ville is definitely something that gets both in your head and in your heart… I love this race! Good luck training & keep in touch. –J
Congrats Dude.
I also recieved my 1st confirmation as well. I will be looking forward to chatting with some seasoned vets on this race on preparation….I’m stoked!
