Wyoming-Colorado Weekend Recap
Since I last posted on Wednesday evening, there was a good bit that transpired between Thursday morning and Monday afternoon. Here's a quick recap:
Thursday, 7/5 - My parents celebrated their 41st wedding anniversary and Waverly and I spent all day in Yellowstone National Park - really an incredible experience. We had a bison cross right in front of the car as we finished the 142-mile loop within the park before heading back to Cody.
Friday, 7/6 - Drove from Cody, Wyoming to Lakewood, Colorado. Long, long drive, but always quality time spent.
Saturday, 7/7 - Drove to Leadville, Colorado, started and finished the 2nd annual Leadville Trail Heavy Half Marathon (actually 15.4 miles) in 5:41:10. Yes, you read the time is right. Start in downtown in front of the 6th St. Gym at 10,200 feet above sea level and end the 7.7 miles at 13,158 feet on top of Mosquito Pass. It took me almost two hours - as I struggled with the altitude - to cover the last 3.3 miles up the switchbacks alongside of the mountain.
Sunday, 7/8 - Flew home from Denver, Colorado. Waverly was excited as we both got upgraded to first class. Always a treat for a 12-year-old!
Monday, 7/9 - Started a new job today with another health care consulting firm.
