Dave Wiens won the Leadville 100 mountain bike race yesterday. Lance Armstrong hung with him until about 10 miles to go.

Even though I’m 35 lbs over my race weight and only started training 6 weeks ago, I managed to finish in 11:21. That’s over 3 hours longer than my best time.

It was a long, painful day for me. It certainly wasn’t fitness that got me through the race. I just kept crawling along and probably was stopped less than 5 minutes the whole race.

Usually aid station splits are updated during the race and finish times posted and racers finish. They don’t seem to be posted this year except for unofficial results for the top 24.
