Got to SG about 1am and was able to sleep in a little since I didnt have to be to work til 11:30, so got out about 8am. I love the dry heat vs humidity. Felt exhausted today. I am sunburned so my tank top was driving me crazy and just felt uncomfortable.

avg pace 7:36, now I got to get everything washed and packed again for WBR. So excited!

So mad about yesterday. I must have been exhausted because I slept right through my alarm clock. I use my cell phone on vibrate for my alarm (I usually wake up before it goes off on my own) but somehow it got knocked off my dresser and I didnt even hear it! Had toomany things going on last night to make it out. So a very unintentional and not wanted goose egg for me on tues.

Anyways today was pretty nice morning. Right quad was very tight, no pain just felt very stiff. Legs still pretty tired, not fresh feeling at all. Probably wont hit 60 this week but thats ok I think I need a lower mileage week and then go back up next week. Need to get into April next week as well.

Van 1 (runner 5) Corporate Mixed

First Leg Avons Pass 7.4 mi Very Hard (what a beast). Avg pace for this run was 8:21 and time 1:00:33-gps measured short at 7.24. I dont know if I lost signal for a little bit or if the leg was short. Felt great on this run, and was pumped up. Passed about a dozen runners. Was warm but nothing compared to the humidity I ran in last week in Dallas. Very dusty-took about a whole pack of baby wipes to clean the dirt off me. Splits were 7:20, 7:46, 8:11, 8:19, 8:30, 8:39, 9:40 and last .24 took 2:01 min. Got slower and slower but was climbing and climbing.

Second Leg(17) 5.9Moderate  Started this leg about 9pm so the weather was perfect! Felt awesome on this run and the scenery was gorgeous. Passed another dozen or more runners. Avg pace was 7:22  and time was 44:17, it felt so much faster when I was running but I think my legs were getting worn out. Splits 7:06, 7:25, 7:18, 7:16, 7:29, 7:39. After this went to Rockport and tried to sleep, got about one hour of restless sleep. One of the girls in our van got really sick to her stomach and asked me to maybe switch our last legs. (she was runner 1). So I couldnt fall asleep afraid that we would miss the boys phone call and I would have to just jump up and run.

Had lots of laughs and a great time, I really have the best team!!!!

 

Took 2 hours of time from last year thanks to speedy Cal and Andy!

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!
