After we had all ran the first leg we tried to get some food at the lodge at snow basin, but they had closed just as we got there, so we then drove to east canyon and had some pasta. Then we "slept" in the car for about an hour till it was time for our van to start running again. I was able to sort of sleep till my leg which I started around 5:15 I think. This leg was 5.2 miles. It was a nice gradual up to the dam, and from there it was gradual ups and downs to the end of the leg. I didn't feel like I was able to open up on this leg. I was still pretty full from the pasta so that could have been part of it. My time was 37:19. I think I passed about 12 people on this leg. After I finished my leg I fell asleep in the car and didn't wake up till our van had started going again. My last leg was fun, but it was really hot. It was 5 miles, and it took me 34:37. I think I passed 15 people on this leg. My legs were starting to feel really tired and heavy by the end and the heat wasn't helping, luckily there were some waters on one of the fences along the trail and some of the people standing by it said I could have some. Overall it was a really fun race, but now I'm very tired. I ended up getting 42.5 miles this week. I only wanted 40, but I guess 2.5 extra is ok. I'll shoot for 40 again this week and then maybe jump up to 45 or 50 after that. |
