My first Ragnar. Overall I had a great time and felt like our van dynamic was awesome. I would say we had the "luxury" experience, as we got to relax in homes in between legs and had a 15 passenger van. I can see how this event could be really fun or really miserable, so I'm glad we got the good end of the bargain :)
Friday 6pm Leg 8 - 7.1 flat miles around Pineview Reservoir in Huntsville, Utah at 7:13 pace. SO HOT. This run pushed my current limits of distance, speed, and heat. I really enjoyed the challenge and was so happy to be limited by fitness instead of structural problems. I got quite overheated by the end of the run despite pouring several bottles of cold water on me. This photo is at about mile 6 at the peak of my water desperation -
Saturday 4am Leg 19 - Early, cold, and dark 4 miles on a very gradual uphill +1% (7:30 pace) in Coalville. The majority of this run was on a dirt rail trail which made the footing uneasy with only a headlamp.
Saturday 2pm Leg 33 - 4.3 miles, first 3 at -10% falling off a cliff (6:20 pace), then flat to the end (7:30 pace). The downhill was way too steep to enjoy at all. Hot run at 92 degrees again so I was pretty overheated by the end.
