My second leg was at about 1 in the morning. Right before the exchange I was asking people for directions and by chance I happended to ask my old collage coach at Ricks Doug Stutz for some information. It was pretty crazy running into him like that. I knew he was running, but finding people when there are 580 teams is kind of hard. Anyway fun to visit with him.
2 leg- easy
1-6:02-Felt good and enjoying just passing lots of people.
2-6:02 consistent
.92- 5:39 Still pushing it
17:45 (6:05 pace)
This leg was a little short, but I still think I ran really good. Once again I was ahead of my predicted time
Now it is off for some rest, even though it is very hard to get any sleep during these types of races.
Final leg- Hard
This leg was a fun leg, even though it was rated as hard, I felt I ran this one pretty good. Overall I gained 560 ft elevation, so there was a good climb the first two miles
1-7:08 heading up the hill
2-7:11 another mile up hill
3-6:19 Things start to even out, and actually some downhill this mile
4-6:29 Kind of rolling
.92- 5:23 I was really pushing myself here, and ended up losing a little bit of Fazoli's at the exchange
Overall 32:31 (6:37 average) This was another leg, where I run just a little better than projected so I was happy about that, but more happy just to be done.
At the finish we watched BYU come in. They brought a really good team this year, and then our first team came in second, followed by our team in third. I was pleased with the effort of everyone on our team, and I think everyone had a fun time, which was the main goal.
I know this isn't the best race report, but I'm still on vacation and using somebody else's computer, so I can't spend all night reporting or I would.
When we got back to Salt Lake. Jansen and I went swimming and then I got stung by a huge wasp. Anyway, my right hand is now about twice the size of my left. |
