Slept well last night after yesterdays little work out, got up and ran in. It was freezing this morning and I felt crappy all the way in to town. Ran home this evening and felt a million times better. I wasn't particularly up for heading back out into near freezing temperatures tonight but I popped a Gu caffeine gel and rocketed home. Have been looking at a lot of Leadville 100 videos recently. This one is my favourite. Not particularly great footage in the run up but from exactly 4:00 minutes in it's gold. Leadville's cut off is 30 hours and when they say cut off they do mean cut off. You'll see what I mean if you stick it out to the 6:00 marker. I love that about these kind of races. Some people would say that's unfair but I think it's great. Although if that guy turns out to be me in 9 months time I'll probably grab that shotgun off the Finish Line Marshall and shoot myself instead.

Nice video. Even harsher (but great tv) is the Comrades cut-off: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eIT_csBPil8&feature=related&safety_mode=true&persist_safety_mode=1
