How is everyone's summer going? Things are good here, just working and trying to enjoy the little bit of extra free time since the semester ended.
Last weekend I ran the Ragnar Wasatch Back Relay. I had SO much fun! It definitely tested my speed, endurance, attitude, and my ability to function with little to no sleep, but it was so worth it. If you're not familiar with the race, it is a 200 mile relay race that you run on a 12-person team. Each person runs 3 times for various distances and at different locations along the course. The race is continuous, you run through the night. My team finished in 32hrs, 32 min, placing 384th out of 1087 in our division. Not bad! Here are my individual stats:
First Run: Leg # 7: 5:46pm - 4.7 miles in 49 minutes
Second run: Leg #19: 2:38am - 3.7 in 42 minutes (this was a tough up-hill climb)
Third run: Leg #31: 1:45pm - 4.1 miles in 42 minutes

I have to admit that my training for the race was lackluster. I'm happy
with my times due to that fact, but it definitely has given me
motivation to train better for the next one. Vegas Ragnar, November
