Marc and I ran the 2-Man relay. The course is 2 miles longer. We each split the miles evenly. We ran 2 legs at a time and then Marc ran leg 9 and I ran 6 miles of leg 10 and Marc took 2 of my miles in the middle due to my excesive cramping. We ran really well at the beginning which gave us a good cushion to blow-up on the last 2 legs. This was not an easy course after the 6th leg. Our total time was approximately 6:36. My total time was 3:18:33 which would have been a PR if this was a marathon. :)

Leg 3&4 = 10.9 miles/1:16:24/7:05 pace

Leg 7&8 = 9.1 miles/1:09:45/7:42 pace

Leg 10 = 6.0 miles/52:24/8:47 pace

Wow, that's a lot of running! Congrats on the win!! I don't understand the time at all, but I'm just going to assume that you went really fast. Way to go.

HAHA... thanks gals! I kind of simplified my explanation of what was going on. Our total team time was 6 hrs and 37 min. I just found out today that we set the new course record for the 2-man. My total accumulated time was 3 hr 18 min. And Anji... I would feel better calling it a marathon PR if I didn't have to stop my time between legs. But all that running and stopping sure was hard on my legs!
