FLO Cycling - Leadman 125, 2012, Race Recap and Results
Hello All,
Yesterday,
Chris and I spent the day at the Leadman 125 put on by Lifetime here in Las
Vegas. There was a great turn out and it was fun to help out at the race.
We volunteered/took pictures of the day’s event.
The winds were
brutal and many athletes said this was the most difficult race they'd ever
completed. Some even stated Kona was a less challenging race then
yesterday's race. With that being said, congrats to all the athletes who
competed in yesterday’s event. Here is a recap of the day’s event and
pictures of the day.
