This year will be Bruce’s first time racing the Leadville Trail 100 MTB and he’s freaking out! To dial in his race plan, he sat down for a talk with 3 Leadville finishers — Chris, Seth, and Craig — to pick their brains and figure out how a racer who isn’t a great climber can maximize their potential and finish strong (or even just finish!).
