Leadville 100 - Blake Bender
From Twin Lakes to the top of Hope Pass
Blake Bender's expert gear recommendations on Rendezvu
Products in this list
- Reality Hat by Reality Run — Can take a beating from the sun. Breathes and super lightweight. Easy to clean off sweat stains.
- T1 by Mount to Coast — My new favorite technical shoe. The T1 handled Hope Pass at Leadville, and the infamous "backside". Had no problem traversing river crossings and staying dry. Easy on/off with the no lace system.
- Alta Elite Trail Hood by Roark — Kept me cool on the Colorado trail, and warm enough on the breezy Hope Pass
- Apex - Black Infrared Polarized by Shady Rays® | Polarized Sunglasses — I wear these on most training runs and every race day. Reduces glare and gives me confidence in glaring sun, rain, and cloudy days.
