Dances with Dirt in Gnaw Bone, IN - extreme relay - team Quaff ON! Hare Trigger. I ran 3 legs of this 55 mile trail race relay. 7:30am start time for leg 1. My first leg was a loop around Ogle Lake. Though I didn't know it, this leg would be my easiest of the day. Every leg of this race is extremely technical, ranging from steep climbs and descent, bushwhacking, mud, creek running up to the waist in spots, and more mud. Very fun, but very hard. Check out the hilarious looking mile splits :)
Leg 4 - Ogle Lake Loop:
2.72 miles - 20:54
splits - 7:08, 8:36, 5:10 for 0.72mi.
Leg 8 - Burnt Opry Loop:
3.52 miles - 38:36
Splits - 9:18, 9:56, 13:50!, 5:31 for 0.52 mi.
Anchor Leg:
2.92 mi. - 28:20
Splits - 9:54, 11:16!, 7:09 for 0.92 mi.
I had about an hour between the first 2 legs and then a couple hours before the anchor leg.
WU each time was strides and a little jogging.
Our team was a lonely second pretty much the whole race - 10-20 min. behind 1st, 10-20min. ahead of 3rd.
total time was 7:28
PM easy 1mi. jog and some strides and PUs just playin around with my buddy from Lexington who had come to see the new baby. :)
