Leslie, one of our runners who relocated to Monument, CO last years just reported the she was the third member on our mailing list to run Pikes Peak! Her description is brief but graphic!:
"I did the Pikes Peak Ascent also...in 4:45....Jack was correct the final 3 miles above tree level were brutal...took me 1.5 hours to complete...people were throwing up from altitude sickness and I saw many with bruised & bloodied hands & knees from tripping on the rocks. It was an adventure that I don't plan on repeating."
Congratulations, Leslie!
It's amazing that Jack has completed this race 20 times, the latest one as a 70 year old!!!
Jack
