Lake to Lake Relay today down in St. George. We worked our way from Gunlock Resevoir to Sand Hallow. This is the kind of relay I really enjoyed doing. There was no overnight, the atmosphere was relaxed, I treated my 3 legs as workouts, and the team I ran with was great. I would do this one again. We covered 50 miles in 7 hrs and 17 min. and ended up 3rd overall. That was a huge surprise, especially since we couldn't find our way to one of the exchanges and Janae waited for us for about a half hour. Whoops! I started off the relay with leg 1, it was all downhill but it took me a couple miles to get into a groove. I didn't warm up before hand. I covered 6.1 miles, Splits were: 6:51, 6:51, 6:37, 6:29, 6:41, 6:39. 2nd leg had a gradual uphill at the beginning then gradual downhill towards the end, I also had a nice view of a man in the race, who was trying to win the prize for shortest shorts. 4 miles covered for my 2nd leg 7:31, 6:50, 6:50, 6:41. My last leg was 3.47 miles splits: 7:02, 6:57, 6:32, .47-3:08 My last leg was climbing for 1.5 miles, then downhill for the last mile.
