9 mins from Bishop v. Grant? Is JB in the lead pack?

by WN Precision 8/11/2012 5:03:49 PM
@WN Precision yep, group of four all near each other leaving Twin Lakes. JB was in the lead through Columbine

What do you think the highs will be?

by WN Precision 8/11/2012 5:06:38 PM
@VN Precision I don't think it will get above 70

by zinn.emily 8/11/2012 5:06:52 PM
Saddle Up ! Dig Deep ! Ride Hard ! Go TNT

For those of you looking for reference on all these places we keep referring to, here's a course map. It's an out-and-back from the town of Leadville. It's more than 100 miles, and they say that those final miles are the longest ever

by zinn.emily 8/11/2012 5:11:39 PM
Not for the faint of heart (or legs!). This is a serious race with relentless climbing

Yes, there was never any doubt. #courserecord ;) RT @dwuori: Pretty sure I would have been done with the #LT100 by now. @singletrack_com

@dwuori @LifeTimeKJ I don't think they have a red lantern belt buckle, but they might make one up just for you!

Alban, Sauser and Bishop (1, 2, 3) are through Pipeline on the way back #LT100

The top 3 just past Pipeline #lt100 t.co

Rebecca Rush AKA "the diesel" is hauling!

by WN Precision 8/11/2012 5:23:13 PM
How are the CFR guys doing??

by race fan 8/11/2012 5:23:25 PM
@race fan with Jeremiah Bishop third wheel, I'd say the Cannondale Factroy Racing guys are just fine!

by zinn.emily 8/11/2012 5:24:54 PM
oops, looks like the long questions show up as two, sorry

by zinn.emily 8/11/2012 5:32:37 PM
You might say the gals that come out of Idaho can "saddle up and let it buck." e.g. KA Gold, G. Gould Bronze, R. Rusch, A. Carey, etc...

RT @singletrack_com: Rebecca Rusch leads the women, followed by Pua Mata #LT100 >>> Thanks! YES. been waiting to see this. Go REBA go!

by salesguru33 via twitter 8/11/2012 5:40:03 PM
Pua is a very different motor v. R. Rusch. I know every mm of them both! This is getting exciting!!!

by WN Precision 8/11/2012 5:41:21 PM
I agree, @WN Precision. She never starts fast, but once her diesel warms up, there's no stopping her!

by zinn.emily 8/11/2012 5:42:08 PM
@zinn.emily What about Tinker? It looks like he's in 2nd pack in about 5th..... I've chewed my nails off watching this!!

by race fan 8/11/2012 5:44:17 PM
Tinker was in 6th at Pipeline in the second group. No news as of yet if he ages like other people do.

by zinn.emily 8/11/2012 5:46:55 PM
Not confirmed, but I'm being told that the gap between the leaders and the second group is over 10 minutes

by zinn.emily 8/11/2012 5:49:28 PM
Rebecca Rusch put the hammer down. 2 minutes up on Pua Mata who is 2 minutes up on Sally Bigham #LT100

Georgia Gould is loving bronze! Read Neal Rogers from London: Gould satisfied, relieved with bronze medal

by zinn.emily 8/11/2012 5:59:01 PM
Powerline. Altitude. Climbing. Flats. There are those who are tough enough to finish, and those who are tough enough to make Leadville Trail 100 history. This year we will see both.

by zinn.emily 8/11/2012 6:03:05 PM
What do yellow bracelets, a queen of pain, a Rockhound, a broken fibula and a 2012 U.S. Olympic team member have in common?

by zinn.emily 8/11/2012 6:04:31 PM
All right, guys, here's the word: Jeremiah Bishop is falling off at the top of Sugarloaf. Lakata and Sauser lead. #LT100

by zinn.emily 8/11/2012 6:09:01 PM
Some info on the leaders: Alban Lakata (Leinz, Austria) – Hailing from Lienz, Austria and racing for Team Topeak Ergon, Lakata is hoping to improve on his second-place finish in 2011. Christoph Sauser (Switzerland) – Coming from the cross-country world where he was the 2008 world champion and UCI World Cup winner in 2004 and 2005, Sauser will surely be at the front of the race.

by zinn.emily 8/11/2012 6:10:20 PM
Also, Lakata told us that he was planning on big-ringing Columbine

by zinn.emily 8/11/2012 6:10:56 PM
Lakata is in the heating business. He's definitely putting the heat on!
