Good luck Leigh at the lottery!! I am keeping my fingers and toes crossed for you. I am excited and scared all at the same time. Maybe we will see each other on the trails this year. Happy training. Hi to George!

Best of luck in the lottery Leigh! My name is in the bucket, too. After pacing from Foresthill to the Finish and then seeing you and Georgie get your buckles, I was hooked! I want some of that!
