Had an awesome time in Cedar City with some fine ladies(Rachelle, Kelli and Jen H.). These ladies are amazing runners and it was an honor to run with them. This was a good experience for my first relay. Short and sweet. We were sponsored by Magic Stuff. I didn't even realize it was a company that I've been using for years. Good company for creams and lotions for athletics and everyday use. Kuddos to Rachelle and Jen H. for running an extra leg each since we were down a runner. Overall time was 3:19:27, with the overall winners just 1:13 ahead of us and the 2nd place ladies team coming in at 4:06:43. Everyone was impressed with us and wondered where this Salt Lake City team came from.
Leg #4- 2.61miles/18:28/7:13. 7:24, 7:10, 3:54(6:58 pace) I'm definitely not used to short distances and it was a shock to my legs to start out trying at an all out effort. I started getting my numb tongue that I get when I'm running too fast so I just tried to stay in control. It started out flat/slight down hill, had a bit of a hill and flattened out for the reaminder. For some reason I thought this leg was 2.2 miles so I was spent by this point but I passed 2 runners so felt good about that.
Leg #8- 2.87miles/22:38/7:53. 7:39, 7:59, 6:57(8:01 pace) This leg was a gradual uphill the whole way. I'm not awesome on hills, but I focused on keeping the first place guy in sight and kept telling myself I was strong. At about 1.5 miles in the course turned and I lost sight of him. I later found out that he saw me behind him and took off.
