I started supplementing my mountain biking with trail running two years ago. This was mostly in the off-season as a way to keep my fitness through the winter, but now I find myself out trail running at least 2-3 times a week. A lot of the trails I end up running are the same ones…
The Leadville 100 has come and gone, but I have yet to write about my experience. Have no fear; the long awaited race report is here. (a rhyme, yep). It’s hard to believe that the race was almost 2 months ago. I think I am still recovering from this monstrous effort on the bike. Anyways,…

I’ll finally post a report from my epic race tonight or tomorrow. Looks like I’ll be moving the blog over to a new server as well in the process. Come back soon!
Greetings from my air conditioned living room. It is currently 92 degrees outside and since the heat has not treated me well over the last week I’ve decided to write a recap on my race over the weekend. So this was race #4 sporting the GT Dirt Coalition colors and so far I have had…
