Race: Wasatch Back Relay (177 Miles) 23:51:51, Place overall: 24, Place in age division: 7

Total Distance

12.90

I was the first runner on my team (Soar Feet). We were in the mixed division. My team had a couple women on it that have done a few marathons and also a couple men that have done a marathon or too. One guy on the team has done a bunch of ultra-marathons. He and I were in the same van so I talked with him about the possibility of doing an ultra-marathon. I got a lot of great input from him and will most likely pace him during the Wasatch 100 in September. He is a really nice guy. The 1st leg was really hot starting at Noon but it was nice to get us started off on the right foot. I ran the 5.1 miles at 5:48/mile. It got really hot quick. I didn't want to go and kill myself right at the first. It was fun to get going with the race though. I was in the first van and we got done about 4:30 PM. We took a short break and then I ran again at 7:50. I ran the downhill section (13th leg) from Snowbasin. I was flying down the mountain at a good pace. I hit under 4:00/mile pace and realized I was going way to fast. I was moving and ended up with 5:13/mile pace. It was the longest section of the relay (7.8 miles) so I was glad to do that for my team. The first van got done and then we tried to get some sleep before we started again in the morning. I maybe got an hour in before I had to run. I ran into Ruth and Ally from the Pine View team. They recognized my singlet so we chatted for a little bit. Dave is going to have a really good cross country team this year. He has a couple of really good runners!

Impressive performance on those first two legs, Logan. I think your average pace was similar to or faster than Sasha's.

From Sasha Pachev on Mon, Jun 25, 2007 at 15:56:14

You actually ran both of those legs faster than me. I did the first one in 30:07, and the second in 41:40.

Logan - I think speed-wise you are on schedule for at least a 2:27 in St. George. To verify, run in one or more of the following races: Murray Fun Days 5 K, Sandy Classic 10 K, Draper Days 5 K, or DesNews 10 K.
