Getting hurt is a part of being an athlete. In fact, professional athletes belong to the top five occupations that experience more than a thousand injures for every 10,000 workers.

Boulder’s Ryan Smith won the Leadville 100 trail run Saturday night thanks to consistent second-half pacing that left his rivals unable to respond. It was the biggest win of his ultrarunning career.
