Sorry things didn't go your way.
But I imagine Leadville was still the high-point of your athletic year. After all, 19 hours, running that kind of terrain, with that caliber of competition, is almost a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Congrats for stepping up and accepting the challenge, despite your many other activities and obligations. Looking forward to the Race Report.
Race report is coming, though probably won't have time for a few more days. While the outcome was less than hoped for, it certainly was a great experience.
