Ran with the Herriman XC team and we started at the bottom of Butterfield Canyon and went up 3.5 miles and then pushed hard down it. my last 3 miles were 4:49, 5:18, and 5:17. I really wanted to do a run like this. Im amazed at the progress of a few runners from running with them at Lava hot springs camp a month ago till now! sheesh! awesome. did a mile cool down after.

Started my first leg just outside of Preston, Idaho and it was about 80 degrees. I ran on the highway and it heated up fast. First .5 was flat and then went up hill. My first mile was 5:30 and that was the only mile this entire relay that I hit a 5:30. All my legs were very hard with lots of uphill. 

Second leg was at midnight and was 8.8 miles. It was through a mountain pass with loose gravel and powdery dirt. I finally caught up to several runners at this point. It was very difficult to run not only from the up hill, but from the passing vehicles.  My headlamp shined into a cloud of dust and blinded me to the point that I either had to turn my lamp off and run by feel by the tail lamps of the vehicles or slow way down and run by feel. Either way it was difficult. I turned my lamp off and waited till I couldnt see the taillamps of the vehicles ahead. I rolled my ankle several times and my calf muscle knotted up really bad. I had an extremely tough time on this section but managed to keep a 6:23 pace.

Started out in a gorgeous heavily Pined area that we stayed at during the night. It was about 8 am and it was at a site where they launch rafts and boats on the river. It was very scenic and we were close to Jackson Hole. I had a decent runner that had about a .25 lead on me that I worked on immediately. It was flat for .5 miles then went straight up like Ragnar for 700 or so feet. I went from a 6 pace to an 8:30 pace. I passed him and a few others on this leg. It was my last leg and they have a competition where the fastest runner of every leg gets to name that leg for the next year.  I wanted this to belong to me so I ran as hard as I could. Ill have to see the results when they are posted. I already know what Im going to name the 2 legs if I won them. The first one will be Dusty Bottoms, and this leg will be called WTF? (Whats the face?) haha
