Ragnar Legs 9/10 This first set of legs was by far my easiest. I just took it easy knowing what I had coming up. This was 5.97 miles with net elevation loss of 61'. I started this run on Friday at 5:50 p.m. AP: 5:48. Weather was perfect for all three of my legs
Legs 21/22 Started this run on at 12:38 a.m. and finished at 2:47 a.m. it was 19.47 miles and had a net elevation gain of 515'. My total average pace was 6:38, but I had to stop 3 times to go poop so if you took out the poop stops I averaged well under 6:30 pace. Other than the G.I. problems I was having, I enjoyed this run. I saw 3 shooting stars.
Legs 33/34 (You've got to be kidding me and Ragnar) Started this run at 8:50 a.m. and finished at 10:03 a.m. glad that I got to run this early in the day on Saturday. This was 8.31 miles with a net elevation gain of 3188'. This was just a relentless grind, but I went into it knowing it would be that way. I decided not to kill myself on this run but to go out at a reasonable pace and enjoy the views and the beauty around me. I ended up really enjoying this run and running a lot faster than I though I would. My stomach felt great and the longer I went, the better my legs felt. AP: 8:42.
Overall the weekend was enjoyable and I think it was good for my training. Great strength building stuff.
I really enjoyed running for the Wasatch Running Center. They hooked us up with some really nice gear. I really liked being in the same van as Fritz and Brett Hales. Those guys are studs! Overall I think I enjoyed the ultra experience more than being on a normal Ragnar team.
