Noon run, partly sunny, temp. 72'

Getting ready for a fun WBR weekend.  Our team had a 5AM start time but I thought there was about a 50% chance we'd bump up against the holding times so I requested a time between 5:30AM and 6:30AM.  They gave our team a 2PM start time which is a 9 hour difference.  The team mates weren't to happy about that. 

One mile in sandals

Ran mile 3 and 4 at 5:59 pace and the others at marathon pace.  The legs seem ready for ragnar.

The South Jordan Slackers had another successful Wastach Back Relay!  Around 29 hours 20 minutes.  We started Friday at 10AM and finished Saturday at 3:20PM.  I'm on a great team of neighbors and we have a lot of fun.

I had leg 3 and my awesome running son Dallas had Leg 4.  After the fiirst 2 legs Dallas had 58 kills and I had 54.  However, my last leg was 7.7 miles and Dallas's was only 3.8 miles.  Dallas added 49 kills to get to 107 total but I was able to get 62 kills to get to 116.  Dallas never got passed but I did get pass once.

I did have to finish the last 4 miles of leg 25.  Andrea's knee just wouldn't keep going.  We had fun eating, running, trying to sleep, going to cabins, playing ping pong, riding scooters etc...
