The LT100 is over and to be honest I am Glad because the so called buildup for this event gets kind-of Crazy!!
The weather was Great during the whole race, 44 degrees at the start with No rain, thank goodness! What I did notice is that when I first did the race in 2005 there was a caring a sort of meaning to the event well that is gone. LifeTime has turned this event into a "Commercial Money Making Machine."
On Friday when you picked up your number the exit went right into the store where everyone was buying anything related to the LT100 event. At the finish all racers got a 2-beers and fajitas, which was a good thing!! On Sunday the moved everything into the Leadville Sr High School, which is a good thing because there were so many people!! They called name out with your time and people walked up to the table and grabbed a white box with your buckle in. It was so crowded that the people handing out buckles did not know anyone from anyone!!---Anyone could have gotten a buckle!!! You then get in a long line to go upstairs to get a sweat shirt--they will be mailing everyone your time so you can iron it on!!!!
Wow they Really Care---My ASS
Note
From when the Gun went off I was wheel to wheel with other racers all the way to the bottom of PowerLine---burning my brakes up!!!!
Later
