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! |
