Tags lance armstrongleadvillerace result Lance Armstrong Wins Leadville 100 qualier cyclingzones Rebecca Rusch and Lance Armstrong each took late-race wins in the nal Leadville Qualifying Series Race, held on and around Crested Butte Mountain Resort, in the sun-splashed Colorado Rockies on Sunday. Rusch, winner of the last two Leadville 100 races, used the help of a strong group to erase the advantage of second-place nisher Jenny Smith, catching the solo-riding Gunnison, Colorado-resident about 10 miles from the nish of the 63-mile race that included two giant re road climbs that rose above 11,000 feet. Smith did all she could to hold Ruschs wheel as they speed to the races nish, but couldnt keep pace. Crested Butte local Jari Kirkland was a distant third in a race that had 201 starters, and served as a last chance for wannabe Leadville 100 racers. About 100 riders earned the chance to contest the famed high-altitude race on August 13, either by placing high in their age category, or winning a spot via a post-race lottery.

Armstrong fell into the former category, winning the overall and his 40-49 age group. But said afterwards that while 63 miles on Sunday was fun, he had no interest in suffering through the 100-miler two weeks from now. Im old and Im retired, he said. But based on Sundays action, you would have never known. The seven-time Tour de France champ shut down a one-minute gap to eventual second-place nisher Greg Krause all during the nal six-mile singletrack section that wound around the shoulder of Crested Butte Mountain Resort. Thats usually not my specialty, said Armstrong, who was riding a 29er hardtail. But for some reason today I sort of felt in the groove and was able to come around the guy on the last downhill. That denitely surprised me.

Armstrongs winning time of 4:32:31 was just 3 seconds better than Krause. Crested Buttes Travis Scheefer took third. Overall the rst-year event was hailed a great community success, and organizers say theyll be back for at least another two years. [Crested Butte Mountain Resort] jumped all over this from the word go, said race director Dave Ochs, who puts on several other local CB mountain bike races throughout the year. They are really trying to get their bike park rolling and get bike events going here. Its kind of like Leadville itself, where the idea is to get all types of riders involved. They have trail here that are really easy for the newbie tourist types. Or you can throw on the pads and get after it on a bike. It used to be dead up here. But now theres a huge change and its been unbelievable.
