Fatty is even more modest IRL. Likely he does not even know what a difference he has made in the world. 2 observations: - There are 3 huge lies in the LT100. 1) it's 104 miles, not 100. 2) the turn around on Columbine is NOT at the highpoint and 3) Carter summit is not a summit. Had not really groked #3 until this story. - If I do my maths correctly, The monster was born the year Fatty completed his first Leadville? And now the Monster has finished her's...there is some symmetry there that someone more poetic than me can put together. Congrats Nelsons and 1 Rollins! Amazing feats! Jeff nailed it.

I expected one [or all] of you to fly by me @8 hours of Sundance since you're all so strong but alas I somehow avoided the embarrassment. You are rock stars! P.S. @Jeff Dieffenbach: excellent points; what an amazing human, eh? Well done Nelson family!
