Personal:

I decided to join to hold myself accountable for my training and because I love learning from others running experiences.  I just started running a little over a year ago and have a lot to learn.  I work fulltime as a Manager of Telecommunications for Intermountain Healthcare and go to school online through Weber State University.  If you want to know more check out my blog: www.runningfortrevor.blogspot.com

AM:  Leg #2 Zion Ragnar Trail Series 2am:  This was quite the little catastrophe of events.  The runner before my runner forgot to wake me up so I got a screaming into the tent from the runner before me.  Crap I had missed the trade off!  Jumped out of my sleeping bag and just started running in my pajamas....ha!  4 miles of trail hiking in the dark with a practically dead headlamp half asleep.  My watch beeped at 30 min and I looked down to see I had reached 2.6 miles.  Wow I was blazing!  Tried to speed up and tripped and fell flat on my face.  huh I was fine but my pajamas were dirty.  I was finally feeling halfway awake by the time I finished this one so I ran a couple of miles with Josh.  6 miles at a 10:15 average pace.

AM:  Leg #3 11am:  Even after running 2 legs and knowing how hard this trail thing was I still had some weird goal of breaking 8 min miles for the last 3.6 miles.  ha that did not happen!  8:12 pace and I think I walked at least once, legs wobbling as I trotted across the finish line.

Final thoughts:  I had an absolute blast and I am so glad I did it!  My team was awesome, the camping concept was so much fun, and I got to hangout with Rachel quite a bit which was great.  But wow oh me oh my I have an entirely new respect for trail running.  Talk about a major ego check!  I have terrible balance, run very flat footed (I do not pick up my feet well), and am honestly very glad to come out of this without a sprained ankle!

PM:  4 miles easy.  Just trying to make sure I was still a runner.
