  • I ran the Leadville 100 last year and crawled to the finish line. It hurt, bad. This year I trained quite a bit more in an effort to finish strong. This video is an account of my experience, and all the ups and downs along the way.

      u r already a winner coz u enjoy the simple things in life: a dirt road with pines and a view ... oh plus not to forget after all ur running / biking ur body still allows u to go on these adventures... it took me 20 years to ruin my body so that I cannot even run a mile ... thank goodness for bikes 🤣🤣🤣 oh and yeah positive thinking...

    You’re the man Ryan! It’s funny that watching you cross that finish line actually choked me up a bit. You’re an inspiration bud. My favorite part of your video was when you said, “remember that we get to do this.” Oh man sometimes that’s hard to live by. My mom used to love to run. She got MS when she was in her 30s and I never actually got to see her run but my brothers always tell me about it. They used to ride by her side on their little bikes. She lost something that she loved. As long as God has us here and we have the health to keep going we have to remember we get to enjoy this beautiful life. God bless you brother! Keep it up and maybe someday we’ll cross paths on the trail.
