In Leadville

I drove to Leadville this afternoon and arrived at the 6th Street gym a little before 7. There were still a few people hanging out after the pasta feed but most people had already left. I did see “Piglet” who crewed for me at the Race Across America last year. He’s doing the Leadville 100 for the 8th time. I also saw Ed and Tom who are Leadville newbies. Since they live in the Colorado Springs area and had seen some of my post on the LT100 Yahoo group they had wanted to get together and ask questions about the race. Several weeks ago we did an easy spin on the Santa Fe Trail at lunch time.

I spent the evening helping set up and network the computers for the timing people. They hang out in the cramped Lake County Assessors office at the court house. Once everyone’s through an aid station the call the results in.

I haven’t seen Floyd Landis but was told he is here. The timing people say if Lance is doing the race, it’s a well kept secret because they haven’t heard that he’s here.
