My favourite time of the year for Fatty posts, and I’m only a roadie!

@mark m, @corrine
As a member of the small fatty subset of ‘finishers’ without a buckle; when are we going back?

@eric @akchick
Rockwell Relay 2016?

@jeffl
Katie&Claire picked the winners, what remained was contacting them and letting them choose. Like you, I can only hope they are in reachable and we get picked in the ’supplemental draft’.

We can see from this post alone that Leadville had an impact, both in goo’ and ‘corral’.

I know

Yay! Keep the race reports coming. I hope we don’t have to wait a week for the next installment. Way to go @MarkM on finishing in under 13 hours and getting your medal. You got to have way more hours of fun (!) than Fatty did. I, like you, finished in under 13 hours but not under 12 when I did my Leadville 100 2 years ago. Way to do it and a sweet 50th birthday present to yourself.

Started and finished my first Leadville 3 weeks after turning 50. No belt buckle, but didn’t get pulled and under 13 hours! Not sure that would have happened without your seminars.

Part one of 12 no doubt. Looked up your time, thanks anyways.

Fatty,
I love reading these write ups! Good stuff!

Just to clarify…your tweet yesterday seems to indicate that only one prize has been awarded…”@fatcyclist: The first prizewinner in the #GrandSlamKenya claimed the @inGambaTours cycling trip to Italy! Second prize winner email just sent. 6 to go!” Is that a correct assumption? So your saying there’s still a chance?!

I’ll chime in to reiterate that I really appreciated the clinics and webinars – it helped a whole lot to know what to expect, and how to manage my nutrition, etc. I was still slow, but I finished! And the brats on Wednesday night were delicious!

“Once again, the future had become the present.”

I’m going to put this on my bathroom mirror so I can see it every morning. Good to remember as I train for my fall century, and good to remember for life in general.

I should have quantified that blog post that Brandon’s name links too. Oops.

Yay! Leadville report part 1! :)

Really odd, but to me you look thinner and fitter. Are you sure that extra 7-10lbs isn’t muscle?

How come you look like a goof and Lindsey looks like she is posing for a magazine? :)

I remember that Lance Armstrong tweet and your update on Susan, but didn’t remember that blog post. Weird. I had to reread it. I still don’t remember reading it. Maybe I’m getting old?

Have you ever thought of selecting a fun event that FoFs could come and join you in riding? Something that isn’t too hard, especially for those of us who live at sealevel? :) I’d love to meet other FoFs and see you and the Hammer again. I know you’re super duper duper extra busy these days though. Maybe I just need to get you two to come to Alaska for a week? :)
