Today was day #1 of the Wasatch Back Relay! Personally, this is the biggest and most enjoyable race of the year for me. I was runner #10; therefore, traveling in the second van and responsible for completing the infamous Ragnar leg. However, my first leg was a mostly flat run from the Huntsville area to Snow Basin Road. It was only supposed to be 3.5 miles in distance, but it happened to be 3.7 miles long. I noticed the placement of the exchange #10 and #11 were at slightly different locations than compared to last year and many of the runners were confirming that leg #9 was around 3.3 (not 3.5) miles long. Anyways, I completed this leg in a time of 21:54 (i.e., at a 5:57-minutes-per-mile pace).
Also, I completed my short non-running workout before the race which consisted of 200 sit-ups, 25 push-ups, and an easy-pace 4-mile bike ride. |
