Leadville100





Steve raced in a 100 mile mountain bike race starting in Leadville, CO which is over 10,000 ft. in elevation. From there they went up and up and up (with some down in between so they could go up again!) It is the hardest mountain bike race in the United States. I wonder if those who do it might have something wrong with them to be willing to inflict this type of pain to themselves, haha! Really I was really proud of Steve for doing the race and he did a great job. He got a great time the only problems was that he forgot to drink and eat during the race so he was pretty dehydrated when he got in but after an IV at the first aid tent he felt great again! Lance Armstrong also raced (and he won!) so that was also a thrill to watch him race and be there to hear him speak at the award ceremony. Over all it was a really fun weekend (at least for me)! Actually we both really had a fun time, it is something we will always remember.
