    Congrats, Lisa! You are incredible!
    Had a distinctly crossfit moment this morning when upon realizing that I had a job interview today, my next thought was “I really need to shave down my calluses”. I then realized that it’s a good thing I won’t be doing this until afterwards.

  • Jeffrey B.

    Lisa, that is an amazing time. Congrats! I want to see that belt buckle you earned.
    Today’s WOD:
    RX’d, 6 rounds + 4 HPCs

  • Zach Singer

    Better you than me, Lisa! But seriously, great work there, and that is a smokin’ time too!

  • Kelly

    congrats Lisa!

  • Kurt

    Great Job Lisa! That is farther than I ever want to go on foot. Can’t believe you were willing to stand in the picture afterwards.
    CFE- Tuesday night (tonight) 6:30 at Columbus Circle entrance to central park. Meet by the snack stand to the left (north) of the statue. If you are late, meet up with us at the “mall” where the runs are usually held. See you there.

  • Lisa

    Thank you all for the comments – I am so so happy with that run! By sticking with Crossfit and the Zone diet I intend to need that belt buckle to keep my jeans up ;)

  • Steve D

    Lisa! What an inspiration. Congratulations on a job well done.

  • Sara

    Congrats Lisa! You’re amazing!

  • torch

  • Jessica L.

    Amazing Lisa! I have been to Leadville many times…and that is some serious altitude to walk around in, let alone run 100 miles!

  • Zach Singer

    Random question:
    Anybody have a tattoo artist that they have used and would highly recommend?

    Wow, 100 miles is incredible. But 100 miles at that elevation is truly heroic. Well done.
