Sorry for the continuous Pikes posts – here’s some images from race day. I broke down and bought the rights to the downloads.
The first batch are from the cog train ride. I was an idiot and left my SD card in my laptop. Fortunately, I met a girl on the ride up that let me borrow her card in my camera! So here’s a sampling

Heading above the tree line. One sad tree.

Colorado clouds over 13,000 ft up

Andrea and I at the summit. Have to give her credit for giving me the idea for this race:)

Pretty awesome to be 14,115' above sea level

My vote about Pikes Peak Marathon!

Even over 13,000 ft above sea level I smile:)

Holy crap I just ran up and down a mountain face!

There’s more but I won’t bore you with more:) Now it’s time to move on – NYC Marathon isn’t going to run itself. I’ll be heading out for 18 tomorrow. Philly Distance Run in 2 weeks. Exciting yet lots of work to be done.
Sweet pics. Now you can focus on Penn State football! 🙂
Fabulous memories for you. Now onto the next one… Have fun!
