From your most recent post it didn't sound like you were certain about doing the race, perhaps from a knee injury. I am flying out on July 1 and heading back on the Tuesday after the race. I'm staying at the Leadville hostel once again starting on the 3rd.<BR/><BR/>BrianAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19806326.post-87829966291177425532008-01-25T11:46:00.000-08:002008-01-25T11:46:00.000-08:00Hey Brian.

It's still not 100%, but then again, even if it was, I couldn't take advantage of it right now. with all of the changes going on lately, (http://ben-reeves.blogspot.com/) it's hard to find time to train properly, but things should even out soon and I'll be able to rack up the miles again. Maybe we can run it together? I'll definitely need the motivation!Breeves2000https://www.blogger.com/profile/08452785926355236002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19806326.post-87830142540249873752008-01-17T18:52:00.000-08:002008-01-17T18:52:00.000-08:00Will you be doing this race again, hopefully with ...Will you be doing this race again, hopefully with a better knee? I plan to be back. I've got some unfinished business with this Marathon. I've got a nice set of ultra races I'm doing this year. It's kinda my ultra-focus year. <BR/><BR/>What is your race schedule like for 2008?<BR/><BR/>BrianAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19806326.post-4121696906441107852007-10-17T10:48:00.000-07:002007-10-17T10:48:00.000-07:00Dude that GPS thing was sweet!

I've also linked to your video you shot on the northern side of Ball Mtn. Did you take any other video footage? I'd love to see it. Oh, and I also used your Ball Mtn photo, which I accredited you on. In any case, have a read, you may enjoy it.<BR/><BR/>http://briangaines.blogspot.com/2007/07/leadville-trail-marathon-race-report.html<BR/><BR/>take care,<BR/>BrianAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19806326.post-65263025669787371982007-07-16T12:58:00.000-07:002007-07-16T12:58:00.000-07:00Ben,Congratulations on your finish despite a bum k...Ben,<BR/><BR/>Congratulations on your finish despite a bum knee. Odd, I got here from your video you posted at the Leadville marathon. It was nice meeting you the day before the race; I was hiking up when you were driving up in the back seat of the 4x4 and again saw you mid race, and again spoke to you at the award ceremony. Weird how our paths crossed.<BR/><BR/>I'm the one with the bum foot (bib #278). Funny, I was trying to look for "Me" in the video as I was hanging around you around Baldy Mtn on the way to the finish. I have a video on my blog of the day before the race and will be posting my race report soon. I also have pictures linkable from the blog and the white truck you were in is one of the pictures on the switchback up to Mosquito Pass.<BR/><BR/>The weird thing is that I'm familiar with your KC Trail Nerds and have read some postings that refer to a "good" and "bad" ben in the past. That always stuck with me and wondered what that was all about. I actually reference the KC blog when researching trail shoes. Small thing, but still odd.<BR/><BR/>In any case, wasn't sure if you wanted to exchange blog links on the running sitesl; I'll add yours to mine. <BR/><BR/>still waiting for the leadville photos to be published.<BR/><BR/>http://briangaines.blogspot.com<BR/><BR/>Brian Gaines<BR/>Chicagoland AreaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19806326.post-59460516563675213922007-07-12T16:16:00.000-07:002007-07-12T16:16:00.000-07:00great showing no matter what your time was!!
