Leadman Epic 250 - Bend Race Report - In order to do this race report justice I think I have to go back to why I wanted to do this race in the first place.  I was searching for a challenge…but something I enjoyed doing.  I ran a terrible half marathon on little training last year and ended up wanting/needing something else.  A friend told me about Leadman…perfect race for me…according to him….long swim, long bike, and relatively short run.  I toyed with the idea for a couple of months.  I then talked to me husband and each of my kids separately and they all said to go for it! ...

The race itself is in Bend, OR.  It consists of a 5K swim, a 223K bike, and a 22K run…according to the website.  I didn't wear my Garmin for the swim, so I assume it was a 5K.  The bike was just under 137miles and the run was 14.5 miles. READ MORE
