2:45 am. Leg 24 went from somewhere in Bryce to Hatch. It was the middle of the night, temp in the 50's, so much better than the afternoon leg. The moon was mostly cloaked by clouds, so this was an extremely dark, solo run. 1:30 pm. Leg 36 went from North Fork Road to Clear Creek Ranch just outside of Zion NP. Once again, it was sweltering hot. I passed one runner, my only "kill" of the entire relay. When I reached the inflated finish line, a gust of wind blew it over, and blocked me from crossing. I backed up, and vaulted up and over the top. Put a fork in me, I'm done. TOZ > WB. We had a great time running this small relay, despite the horrible heat. |
