My Leadville experience started one year ago when I traveled  to Leadville, Colorado to crew and pace a National Guard Marathon teammate,  Troy Frost. I had heard many stories about the 100-mile race in Leadville and  finally got to see the course in person. We drove to all the aid stations and I  paced the last 24 miles through the night. Troy did very well finishing under  25 hours and I knew that I would come back in 2013 for my turn to take on the challenging  high elevation course.
