| 5 miles with Elaine at 5:10 a.m. Matt1 met us at 2.5. Very easy running. Tapering down for Ragnar on Friday. I'll be running 21 total miles for legs 1, 13, and 25. A 6:00 a.m. start means I need to leave town by about 2:30 a.m. I will be totally sleep deprived. Maybe I'll get a hotel in Logan if it's not too late. |

| 4 miles solo at 5:10 a.m. in 35:00. Fairly easy effort for last run before the Wasatch Back Relay tomorrow morning. Weather is looking pretty good. They have now lengthened my 3 runs to equal 21.2 total miles with one non-supported 8.5 mile leg. The Ragnar folks are getting a bit paranoid about safety concerns. Why do we even sign those waivers? Perhaps they should start by not allowing 1000 teams to register. |

RAGNAR Wasatch Back Relay Friday and early Saturday. Team: Green Eggs and Sam. A fun time in Van #1. I was runner #1 starting at 6:00 a.m. Nice weather and great running. We finished in 31:14:27 which was 303rd of 658 in the Mixed division. My legs (1, 13, and 25) went well. My first leg was shortened by a full mile and they didn't tell us. It was scheduled for 7.9 but marked the course without going all the way to 1000E. They probably realized this was long enough, having extended it enough already from the previous years first leg. But it would have been nice to know ahead of time.
My times were: 6.9 miles at 6:00 a.m. in 52:30, 8.5 miles at 3:30 p.m. in 63:37, and 4.8 miles at 3:27 a.m.in 39:35. Garmin splits: Leg 1: 8:22, 7:40, 7:41, 7:20, 7:31, 7:39. Leg 13: 9:12, 6:52, 6:50, 7:41, 7:45, 7:32, 6:54, 7:19, 7:31. Leg 25: 8:32, 8:05, 7:19, 8:18, 8:11. All things considered everything went very well. Two consecutive nights of 3 hrs. sleep each, but we had a solid 3 hours staying at a house in Oakley right before my final leg. A near tragedy when our alternate driver lost the van keys at the Ogden Valley exchange. Fortunately a good soul turned them in at the lost and found. We were pretty sure they were dropped somewhere in that hayfield they turned into a parking lot, so we were very fortunate. |
