2011 Leadville Trail 100 Pictoral Redux

Paying heed to the adage that a picture is worth a thousand words, we would like to invite you all to share our team's Leadville Trail 100 through a collection of images that we feel convey the experience. 

This is but a snippet, as the event is so large, so grand, and so beautiful that even the most eloquent description and most piercing images would fail to capture it appropriately. 

The Colorado clouds are somethin' else.

What do you do after a 100 mile race? Eat!

And eat.
