Hi Ty. thanks for posting this. super helpful for our planning. What was your total time?

[@tyy_hunter]

I finished around 4 and a half hours. The entire first half is basically hiking and you can run on the way down. Definitely worth taking your time to take in the views!

[@chitinman1]

Also, how long did you acclimate up in Leadville before the run? We are coming from sea level, too!

[@tyy_hunter]

We arrived on Thursday. I think training in the humidity (living in GA) helps a ton. I didn’t really notice any shortness or breath until the top of Mosquito Pass.

I want to sign up this year just to have an idea what was your road half marathon time compared to the heavy half time? Thank you great video!

[@tyy_hunter]

I was about 2 hours slower than my typical road half marathon. I highly recommend signing up. Enjoy!

[@spencerharper6182]
