I could wax poetic for hours about the Leadville 100 (and I will) and how hard it was and how I suffered, but my entire Leadville experience is summed up with the attached picture - anything more would be superflous.
To give the photo context, at hour 7, my stomach utterly shut down which lead to my lungs, brain, and legs following suit. By the time Guy and Hans found me at the side of the trail on St. Kevins, I was a dead man walking. Guy and Hans both sacrificed their own shot at a better finish time in order to nurse me to the finish. I have never experienced such dedication, commitment, and willingness to give of oneself for another. I am proud, humbled, and honored to be a part of this team.
As they say, a picture is worth a thousand words...
