You are actually in a picture I took at hope pass as we both made the cutoff by a few minutes. See you in 2023. You are a champ no matter what. Leadville is unlike any other race and truly takes everything out of you.

    What a day and race for all who were there! I just recently saw the highlights on KZread and realized what a challenge it was considering the conditions....let alone the course and competition. That was brutal...I still can't comprehend how Yuki ran in shorts and a tank top. Super-human effort. And he had to carry a piano from the 5K marker on ;) LOL! What a finish. I can't believe NBC missed the coverage of him passing Kirui at the end. Ouch. As someone who has experienced a few marathons and also been part of videotaping The Warwick, NY Marathons (1994-1996 - New York Marathon overflow race) I have seen and felt the ups and downs of this athletic endeavor. You must be very proud to be part of the 2018 Boston Marathon adventure. Nice job with the video and narration. What memories! Congrats to all!...Great job Boston!

Good luck next year Eric (and get a new gimbal or whatever it's called - technology has moved on a bit in the last ten years!!!). Your videos make me want to do whatever it is that you are doing in them.

    I was there my friend. It was my 5th World Marathon Major. It was a brilliant experience especially in that weather. To be honest the weather really made it for me because it was so epic, so abnormal. We will talk about it for years to come. When I run now and the weather is bad I laugh to myself and say " I've run a marathon in worse!!" best wishes from Belfast Ireland, 🇮🇪🏃🍀💚
