This is my second time entering the Leadville 100 lottery and I received another rejection email for the second year in a row. I was bummed but one of my teammates; Tom Lining, suggested I check out the Facebook page of Platypus Hydration because they were having a contest where they put together a team of 8 riders who get a entry to the race, a team kit, and a hydration pack.
I was picked to race the LT100 this year with Team Platy!
