Goodluck Fatty! If you, THE Hammer, and the IT guy are all racing, who is running your crew?

Good luck, kick butt and have fun!

I am not familiar with the course and have no idea what splits they were looking for, but all three are progressing through the race. Go Fatty! Go Hammer! Go IT Guy!

i was looking through the leadville website and found this (http://assets.ngin.com/attachments/document/0029/2753/LeadvilleTrail100_TopFinishers.pdf). looks like you are part of a select group of riders!!

C’mon Fatty! I’m trapped at work and cheering for all three of you, and my one other friend who is riding!

I just searched for The Hammer and it’s telling me that 17 hours have elapsed for her– while Fatty is at 5 something. What the what? Since 17 hours haven’t elapsed since the start, I’m assuming this is a glitch. Or she’s just so fast she’s messed up the time continuum. Both of these are equally plausible.

It looks like Eldon won his division, finishing in 8:50, just under his 9 hour goal. Woo!
Lisa finished in 9:28, giving her 4th out of her division.
Blake (IT Guy) apparently is still on the job.

Good Job Elden! Sub 9 on a single speed! Sweet. And to Lisa too, this looks like a PR. I’m proud of you guys!

Awesome job Fatty! Only singlespeed in under 9 Hours!

Great job Fatty and Hammer. However, I have to say I am most impressed with Blake. He really kicked butt to finish with the buckle. How many people did he pass in the last section of the race? He must have gotten a second (or third or fourth) wind and pedaled home like crazy. Way to go!

Congrats to all of you! I suppose it’s not cyberstalking when you invite me in a post to followyour races…although I did look you all up before I saw your post…
Off to my own race now, Wiesbaden 70.3.
Have a great Breck Epic this week!

Man, you all kicked some serious Leadville booty! Congrats to all! (and I agree w/ Barry Canipe…IT guy…your FIRST Leadville finish, and sub 12…MOST IMPRESSIVE! Way to go Blake!!)
I’m thinking of the animated move “the Incredibles” right now…seeing some similarities. Sub 9 on a SS…(and just happening to WIN the Mens SS div)…sheesh…you ARE the MAN! And a 9:28 for the Hammer…WHAT a hammer you are Lisa! Er, excuse me…I meant HAMMER!
Good luck in the Breck Epic…just unfurl your capes and let fly when you think you might be a bit tired.

Way to kill it out there!! This was my first time in LV, covering the race from the Arkansas perspective! I was the one who yelled out “Go Hammer” up on Pipeline! I think I got some good photos of y’all on Pipeline and the finish! Congrats for an incredible race & great finishes!!

Congrats. I’d say that Strava QOM chasing paid off huge for the hammer! You guys all rocked it, enjoy Breck Epic
