Van 1 Runner 5 (Corporate Coed Division)

3rd leg 5.6 mi (Hard but didnt feel like it), one of the girls got very sick to stomach, so we switched our last legs so she would have more time to recover and would have an easier run. She was runner 1. Felt crappy on this run, had bad side stitches from the start that never went away. Man I am getting alot of these lately and my abs stayed sore from it all saturday and sunday! avg pace was 8:10

Then i ran the last leg of van 1 with my teamate to get a few extra miles, wanted to do 5 more so I would hit 60 mi but i was DONE.

After this we went to one of the girls cabins in Midway and showered and then went to the finish line, saw FRB blue team at the finish and talked to Dustin and Steve for awhile. My team ran in and then both FRB teams were right behind us (obvisoulsley they started way after us). It was fun to see them all even though I just gave most a quick smile and wave before I took off to head back to Jodys to sleep. Had to get some gas in park city and I saw this all nautral frozen yogurt shop. You filled up your own and then they charged you by the ounce. Didnt really look at the price per ounce. So I just filled up a small cup and it was SEVEN dollars. Good thing I was really too tired to care and it tasted so dang good!! Fell asleep in the car ride home and then slept for about 3 hours at Jodys. Showered again and got ready and then went to Cafe Rio and it tasted so good! (after eating Peanut butter and honey sandwiches, almonds and fruits) Felt good to get some substance in me. Then got chocolate licorice and ate alot of it! Yummm!

So sad its over for another year!
