Leadville

Here's the rough splits I'm shooting for at Leadville, hoping to finish in 23:56:01. I swear, that time has nothing to do whatsoever with someone who finished WS in 23:56:02.

Mayqueen 2:10 (6:10AM)
Fish Hatchery 4:00 (8AM)
Halfmoon 5:00 (9AM)
Twin Lakes 7:00 (11AM)
Winfield 10:00 (2PM)
Twin Lakes 13:10 (5:10PM)
Halfmoon 15:40 (7:40PM)
Fish Hatchery 17:10 (9:50PM)
Mayqueen 20:30 (1:10AM)
Finish 23:56:01 (3:56:01AM)

Gonna hafta roll with the punches for the first 20 miles or so, due to the high number of runners expected, and not panic if I get behind. Just like I'm gonna have to be careful not to get caught up in all the excitement and go out too fast.

Of course, I am prepared to crawl to a 29:59:59 finish if I have to. Leadville has fed me a harsh dose of reality in the past, and I don't plan on repeating those mistakes again.

I think it is going to be a huge challenge to get to Fish in 4 hours with the crowds. I plan on just rolling with it and picking them all off the return back after half of the bastards drop at or before Winfield.

I'll see you at the AS and be sure to harrass you if you are behind :)

This reminds of a certain year at Sunmart so many moons ago when you were going to kick my ass there, too...hmmm?

This is a blueprint for your next loss in the series.
