Got back from Hawaii yesterday then headed down to KY to run a 200 mile relay with some friends from high school. Not much sleep the last few days so was tired heading into the event. We were in the 2nd van so we had a lot of waiting to do before running. The weather was rainy and cool. I ran my first leg at around 8:00 pm at night so it was already dark. I didn't feel the best and I was concerned about going out too hard because we lost one of our team members to injury so I was going to be picking up and extra leg and running 4 legs and a total of around 24 miles. I went out pretty easy and tired to just run around MP for the first legs. It was a hilly leg with mostly long rolling hills nothing real steep. I was able to pass quite a few teams and finished up feeling pretty good. After the rest of our van finished up their legs we grabbed a bite to eat and headed for some sleep. We got around 2 to 3 hours of sleep which is pretty good for these events.
