In response for a request for more Shady references in my running blog posts I present this old classic, the amazing (looking even more amazing with Anton’s 2 failed attempts as of yesterday) account of Matt Carpenter’s record setting performance at Leadville in 2005.  Matt Carpenter is the Tiger Woods of U.S. mountain running, and talks here about how he figured out how to win and win big at Leadville after a failed attempt in 2004 including listening to Em on the final 20 mile stretch.
