Love it as always
I been following Leadman 250 closely, its on my bucket list. I wouldnt say swimmers have a huge advantage, bikers have the advantage, not the runners for once in our lives. That bike course is down right punishing, ever RR i read, from pros, said it was not a race, it was about trying to survive to the finish line. With the likes of Coach Troy saying he hate is bike and Lieto dropping out because he had enough of that course, speeaks volumes on how tough it is.
Love that you recap this every week! I run across so many great blogs this way. The leadman 250. All I have to say is WOW.
I've heard about the Leadman 250 and wow, that is just nuts! And I thought an Ironman was hardcore!
Thanks for the weekly recap, as always, and for the shoutout. Congrats to all the bloggers who are doing races, living out awesome stories, and inspiring us all!
Thanks for the Good Luck, I am going to need it!
