Pam Hinton takes on the Leadville 100 MTB Race
Last weekend, Pam Hinton rode in the infamous Leadville 100 MTB Race in Leadville CO. With the entire 100 miles ABOVE 9000ft, this has always been the most difficult bicycle race in the country.
This afternoon, Pam made contact with us… she’s alive... In a field of over 1000 athletes (mostly Male as noted by Pam), she finished in a time of 11 Hours and 11 Minutes with a final placing of 484th !! What a fantastic result.
Pam commented that “this was by far the hardest bike race I’ve ever done. But, I’m going back next year—knowing the course and getting more comfortable on my mountain bike—especially the crazy descents—will make a difference“.
She also noted that lining up beside the one and only Lance Armstrong was certainly a highlight for her trip into the Rocky Mountains.
Great Ride Pam !!
Hello – I know this is a total long shot, but Pam Hinton referenced a study on EPOC in Cycling News’ online edition, and I can’t find the study anywhere. Nor does Cycling News offer her email for technical/fitness questions. Not can I find anywhere on the CN site to leave comments. Nor can I find any contact information for her anywhere. So… I was hoping that you could forward this to her, along with my email address and a request for a reference to that study? I’ve been using EPOC regularly to determine my state of recovery and have found it to be a compromised methodology, at best.
thanks!
