Race: Wasatch Back Relay, Legs 25 & part of 26 (6.3 Miles) 00:49:00

Sat. AM run.  I ran 5.0 for our injured runner (leg 25) and 1.3 of my scheduled 3.3 leg (26), then a couple of others ran to share the load.  I had a very fun time once again.  My 5th Wasatch Back. I felt so good.  My knee hadn't felt this good in weeks!  I know we started fairly early at 9:15 Saturday morning, but was only passed by one runner the entire three legs as I headed into Kamas.  That has never happened.
