Leadville Trail 100

Congratulations to my good friend Bob Sweeney for completing the Leadville Trail 100 mile race in Colorado this weekend. I have not heard from Bob via e-mail or text yet, so I am just reporting what I see on the race Web site:

Finish time: 20:51:12
Overall place: 18th of 358
Gender place: 16th of 306
M40-49 place: 4th of 105

Covering 100 miles anywhere is difficult. Doing it at high altitude adds a mammoth challenge. Bob lives out there, so the altitude is not a huge surprise to his body. But still ... this is a remarkable accomplishment from a guy whose running career is filled with them. If I get photos or more details, I will pass them along at some point. Wear that buckle with pride ...
