My first leg of this year's Wasatch Back Relay was leg 7. Our team, Full Nelson, started at 1:30 and I was expected to take the handoff at Eden Park at 6:10. Almost to the exact prediction, teammate Tim came barreling into the transition and I took off. I had some sort of mishap with my Garmin 405, but thats another story. I was running and immediately passed two gals, but felt like my breathing was off. Temps were very warm and I felt dehydrated. Didnt know why. I drank enough fluids during the day, but felt off. I kept running and picking off people, not bothering too look at my GPS, and felt just "okay" and then died the last mile or so. I passed a guy soundly, but then he didnt like being chicked and passed me back. Total time reported by our team was 27:23 but my GPS showed 28:34? I have no idea on the discrepancy. I uploaded my workouts from the GPS and it shows the "moving time" to be the same as what the team reported but the actual time more. Don't understand this because I didnt hit stop or anything. I ought to go back to the good old Timex? We didnt hang around the finish so don't know how our team placed. Overall time was 23:08.
