Wasatch Back Relay - Team Marathon GIS - 3rd Place Overall - 18:29:29 Results
We ran our guts out but couldn't keep up with BYU and Weber as they battled it out for 1st. Weber ended up winning impressively by 11 mins.
I was in Van 1 with (in order of legs) Sasha, Dustin, Chris, myself, Paul, and Steve. I received the "baton" at at 6:54 pm at Exchange 3 with Weber up by ~15 min and BYU and Runners Corner about 2 mins behind. It was around 90-95 degrees and that is hot for Logan. In fact, it was the hottest day of the year so far.
My leg was 5.14 (on the Garmin) miles long with rolling hills and a net gain of 152 feet. I started out fast all amped-up and ran 5:41 for the first mile before I settled into a better pace. Splits (5:41, 6:05, 6:26, 6:16, 6:26, :54 (6:16 pace). I was expected to run 31:45 and I ran 31:48. My HR was pretty high due to the heat and averaged 185 and even maxed out at 192. I was very glad to hand off to Paul and collapse.
I ended up running around 2 easy miles, warming up and aiding other runners. |
