Met up with my fellow BBK'ers for Wasatch Back. I was in Van 2 so we got to sleep in a little. I was the first runner in our van and I was a little anxious to get going. I ran twice on Friday and here are my legs - #1 - Leg 7. This is a 4 mile easy stretch at the first major exchange. I started out pretty quick and kept picking people off. It was very hot and I have not done any training in the heat but seemed to be okay. So glad to have the first leg done and with some success. Ave pace 7:49 #2 - Leg 19. This is a 3.8 mile stretch at the third major exchange at East Canyon. I started out feeling great up the first climb and attacked the down hill. I had worn a long sleeve shirt and started overheating on the next climb, but with the reflector, head lamp and carrying my iphone because I forgot my ipod (this was the one leg I wanted it for) I could not take it off. I felt good until about half way up and then I really started to struggle and mentally was having a hard time staying focused. Once I reached the crest and hit the flat I was able to pick it back up and finished strong. Ave Pace 9:07 Overall felt okay about the day. Leg 1 was good but very frustrated and disappointed by myself with leg 2. I can do better and really need to get my act together.
