 Alright huge shout out to Michael a vlog fan. Thank you Michael He just stopped he was doing his warm-up stopped and told me that they changed the course because of too much snow up on top Like there's 20 feet of snow up there. It's just what did I say? It's just I it's sane here in Colorado this year, so I'm glad thank you Michael for letting me know the course has changed. I Hate to do it. I had to call an audible some split-second decisions. I Was at the starting line, but just I was like, you know what? I want to get out on the course and I knew I would miss him if I did if I stayed at the start So I'm gonna miss a start, but I'm gonna get the good stuff here. We go off-road now. Oh boy. Don't crash Okay, okay. Here we go. I'm gonna get out here. Just a wee bit Get them going Okay, I made position both cameras are filming. I feel real good about the situation real good I'm still a little unclear about the course since they changed it due to the snow But we will figure this out. So the runners are gonna be coming by here Probably in about two to three minutes runners are crushing it. There are a lot of runners I had no idea there must be a I don't know it seems like a thousand runners That's what it seemed like it when they ran by me. Maybe it's like 600, but it was a lot and They are all they're all doing it at 10,000 feet above sea level That was a second and third place in the men's and I'll just wait for the women's here top three to come through Looking strong all three of them and shout out to Kara go buffs. Oh man It's fun to see it's fun to see a fellow buff out here crushing the trails and an Olympian to boot All right, here comes fourth place guy looking strong Hey job What a day the Leadville Marathon with Kara Goucher and company How cool is it that Kara Goucher at the two a 2008 and 2012?

Thanks for the YouTube videos and all this stuff and it's like that is what it's all about the running YouTube Community coming together in the real world. I just off that is why that's frankly a huge reason Why I make these daily running vlogs. All right keyword is altitude and the question of the day Who has raced at a mile above sea level? All right? So five thousand two hundred and eighty feet above sea level and so what race did you do if you've raced a mile above sea level? How did it go and here we go who has raced two miles above sea level? So that would be all the racers today. You all were well above two miles above sea level So how if you have raced two miles and above let us know what it was and how did it go for you? What was your experience like anyway? What a great day. Thanks for watching. Thanks for tuning in. Ah There's nothing like running. There's nothing nothing like it guys I'm telling you. There's nothing like it. I gotta stop. I gotta stop. See beauty work hard
