Race: Lake to Lake (10.5 Miles) 01:30:15, Place overall: 16, Place in age division: 8
Total Distance
10.50

This was actually a 5 person relay team and my legs totaled 10.5 ish.  It was beautiful weather and a awesome run!!!  My first leg was about 5.5 and second was right around 5.  

My team was awesome and we are so happy with our place.  Our division place is different (there were 3 different groups) and at this point I am not sure how we did in the mixed division.  

My first leg was from the Highway 91 and the Gunlock road junction and into Ivins.  I had a couple of good hills and was very happy that I have been running Pah Tempe as often as I have.  Also had a tail wind.  My second was on the trails from Riverside drive to washington by the animal shelter.  By my second leg the teams were so spread out that I didnt see anyone other thatn a glimpse of a green shirt once or twice.  All in all it couldn't have been better, the second run of mine was a bit tough for the first mile or so and I was cursing myself for not taking any powergel.  Live and learn. 

Good times.  This is definately a run I would love to do each year!!
