S3E01: Your 2020 Registration Questions, Answered Mar 10, 2020

Show notes

It's an answer-packed episode of the Leadville podcast! Hottie and Fatty talk with Life Time's Michelle Duffy and ask the questions on everyone's minds. What caused the 2020 registration snafu? What options were discussed to handle the problem? How did they wind up with the current solution? How many people will be on the starting line this year? Will wave starts be used to solve the larger number of white-corral racers at the starting line? What are the pros, cons, and logistical hurdles of a wave start? How will this affect the 2021 lottery? Will the Coronavirus affect the spring / early summer qualifiers and camps? And...believe it or not, there's a lot more.

S2E28: Alison Tetrick and Previewing Season 3 Nov 26, 2019

Show notes

This is it, the final episode of Season 2. We're closing out the show for the year with Alison Tetrick, 3X World Gravel Champ, DK200 Record Holder, and signed up for the 2020 Leadboat Challenge...in spite of the fact that she doesn't (yet!) own a mountain bike.

Hottie and Fatty also talk a little about Season 3 of the Leadville Podcast, so be sure to stick around after the conversation with Alison!

S2E27: Fast Guy, Bad Day Oct 25, 2019

Show notes

We catch up with Canyon pro racer Jeremiah Bishop, holder of one of the five fastest times ever recorded in the Leadville 100. One of the highlights of the season in this show was getting Jeremiah's insights, both in our regular show and in the live show we did in Leadville this year. We are unashamed to say we were totally rooting for Jeremiah to take the top spot on the pro podium in Leadville this year. Fate, sadly, had other plans for Jeremiah this year, but he's still got a great story to tell.

S2E26: Riding It Blind Oct 18, 2019

Show notes

Chris Smith raced Leadville for the first time this year. It was a celebration of strength, willpower, and independence...because he raced it after losing seventy pounds, and ten years after being declared legally blind. Riding for the Challenged Athletes Foundation, Chris has a remarkable story to tell. We guarantee you'll be inspired by his 2019 Leadville 100 race report.

S2E25: The Sweeper Oct 10, 2019

Show notes

For this episode, we've got a race report unlike any we've heard before: Joe Stein — one of this year's LT100 sweepers — tells stories from the very back of the race. It's inspiring, funny, exciting, sad, and surprising. Don't miss it!

S2E24: Racing the LT100 Run Sep 03, 2019

Show notes

This podcast spends a ton of time talking about the Leadville 100 Mountain bike race, but have you ever considered the RUNNING version of the Leadville 100? In this episode, Fatty and Hottie talk with Lisa, a 15X finisher of the LT100MTB, about her first attempt at doing the LT100 run. It's an inspiring and personal story, but you'll have to decide for yourself whether it makes you want to try...or to avoid...this event.

S2E23: Fatty & Hottie's 2019 Leadville 100 Race Report Aug 13, 2019

Show notes

Fatty raced it. Hottie crewed it — and recorded it! This is the Leadville co-hosts' story of the day, from the starting line (yes we recorded while standing in the red corral) to the finish line (yes we recorded while sitting on the lawn at 6th and Harrison) and beyond. Enjoy our story...and then tell us yours.

Show notes

It's our first-ever live episode, recorded in Leadville, CO, just a couple of days before the 2019 Leadville 100, with a wide ranging questions from our audience for our incredible panel: Floyd Landis, Dave Zabriskie, and Jeremiah Bishop. We talk about our experts' top advice for racers, bike setup, pro race predictions, writing your split projections on your top tube, proper fueling, sleeping at altitude before races...and a startling amount about pooping. Don't miss this fun, loose, and remarkably informative episode.

S2B2: Race Week Course Conditions, Events, and Changes to the Start Aug 05, 2019

Show notes

It's less than a week 'til the race, Fatty just got into Leadville, and he wanted to just give you a quick final pre-race episode to let you know about how the course looks today, tell you about the events Hottie and Fatty are either leading or joining here in Leadville this week (including some interesting stuff we haven't talked about before), and give those of you who don't necessarily spend your time reading alllllll the way to the bottom of Life Time emails...a little news about the change to how the race is going to begin.

S2B1: Nate Whitman -- The Fastest Guy You've Never Heard Of Aug 02, 2019

Show notes

We try to fit everything into our regular episodes, but the interview in this episode was so good, so informative, and — to be honest — so long that it has to stand on its own. (Actually it's not that long … just a bit much to squeeze into our normal shows with all the other stuff we have going on.)

Nate Whitman is a name rarely mentioned when discussing the front of the race at the Leadville 100. But he should be, because he has been at the front — a number of times. He has four top-tens and he has broken 7 hours.. Nate has 17 finishes and a thousand mile buckle.

Nate has also scored big at other endurance races: A top-10 at La Ruta, a win at Rebecca's Private Idaho, and he has been on the podium four times in the 40+ age group at Dirty Kanza, including a tenth place overall. His name may not get mentioned much but his race record speaks for itself.

In spite of all that, Nate is a lot like the rest of us lining it up at Leadville. Sure, he's faster than most of us, but Nate has a family and a full time job that keep him busy. So the fact that he keeps notching high placings at Leadville and other big-time events is pretty amazing — nd somebody we thought would be worth hearing from, to learn just how he does it.
