Levi Leipheimer, Rebecca Rusch Win Leadville Trail 100, Set New Course Records


With Lance Armstrong dropping out of contention earlier in the week, Levi Leipheimer left the competition in the dust to set a new course record at the Leadville Trail 100 mountain bike race. He finished in 6h 16m 37s, besting Armstrong’s time last year by 12 minutes. Photo above by TrekBen of Leipheimer rolling up to the finish line. Armstrong was quick to congratulate with, of course, a Tweet.

For the women, Rebecca Rusch followed suit by setting a new course record of 7h 47m.
