Leadville 100 update

skies dried up some, sporadic rain and hail, but not as wet as this morning. but temps only in the high 40s. feels like October. nonetheless, Helen was into Winfield aid station, mile 50, in 8th place overall (out of over 550 racers), and 1st woman. We dropped off Kate Lapides there and they ran over Hope Pass for the 2nd time, down into Twin Lakes and then over to Halfmoon and Treeline. Diana's taking a nap now, Alina's watching an Elmo movie. we had a quick lunch in town and now we're soon off to Treeline to let Diana pace Helen over to Mayqueen where Katie will run with Helen to the end. Hopefully Helen hasn't gone out too fast. She looked awesome at Winfield, but she usually has trouble at the 63-75mi mark. Not physical trouble, but mental trouble. We'll see.
