Some photos of a group training run on Hope Pass today. This is on the middle 20
miles of the Leadville 100 and also the highest point on the course at 12,600
ft. It is where most of the runners drop out. It climbs 3400 ft in 5 miles and
descends 2600 ft in 2 miles, and then you turn around and do it the other way. I
was the slowest runner in the group, covering 16 miles in about 5:30.
