Leadville 100

This last weekend, Adam went to Leadville, CO to help crew Eric Truhe as he ran the Leadville 100 running race. It's an ultramarathon run on mountain trails all above 10,000 feet elevation and involves running over the arduous Hope Pass...twice. Eric has summited Denali, climbed 6000m peaks in Peru, and completed a 50 mile running race. The boy likes to suffer.

The crew's job was to assist Eric at the aid stations positioned roughly every 10 miles along the course. We'd feed him, help him change clothes, and he is allowed to have one pace runner at a time during the last 50 miles.
