Why is that the case for this race? Any chance they'll extend the times at some point? Congrats on a race well run regardless.

Wow! You *almost* make me want to do this race (and I know exactly what you're talking about with that altitude, which is why I have no desire to do this race!). If you ever decide you need a pacer, though...... :^)<br /><br />Thanks also for sharing your fueling strategy. I think the rest of us can learn a lot from you ultra types about fueling wisely.Terzahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10617301871875902162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-831613295895512847.post-89989859360055083542012-09-10T09:44:15.696-07:002012-09-10T09:44:15.696-07:00Great report.

That altitude is no joke. And each time you're up, your body can be different. I spent some time working at 12,000 ft a few years back and over 6 different trips, never had trouble until the 2nd to last - got pulmonary edema & had to go to the hospital. No rhyme or reason. SO...moral of the story is to try to get as acclimated as possible ahead of time.

Glad you enjoyed the beauty but altitude is nothing to be taken lightly. We live at 6800' and it still beats us down when we're in the mountains from time to time. Glad you figured out some good stuff about keeping the stomach lined out. Now get that tent reserved for next July ;-)HappyTrailshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17651141743444721517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-831613295895512847.post-55376938718636518032012-09-06T19:21:57.441-07:002012-09-06T19:21:57.441-07:00Great news that you finished your part of the race...Great news that you finished your part of the race without getting sick. Huge bummer about not making the cutoff; another blog I read about the race mentioned that new section making a big difference for people, something like 10% fewer finishing this year.<br /><br />Looking forward to reading next year's Leadville finisher report. :)Kate Geisenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11854561265520868538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-831613295895512847.post-85660579687632406172012-09-06T15:43:04.954-07:002012-09-06T15:43:04.954-07:00Great recap and even though you didn't make th...Great recap and even though you didn't make the cut off time it seems that you came away with some strategies for next year. I can't imagine trying to figure out how fast or slow to run to make it to the end while still making the cut off. Good luck this weekend! You're a machine!Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12870882429676385594noreply@blogger.com
