Well, another win for the St. George Running Center. This was the third year we've ran and won this relay, so that was cool. I was a little concerned going in because I have been sick the last two to three weeks and haven't been training very well.
This year I did legs 3 and 7
Leg 3- 5.68 miles 34:47 (6:07 average)
1-5:37 Some excitement here as we were in 3rd place, so I had to try to make up some ground
2-5:51 I catch the guy that is in second and gap him pretty fast
3-6:04 this section is on the bike path and has a nice little hill
4-5:57 decent mile, but starting to hurt
5-6:32 I'm really starting to struggle here, doesn't help having to run up a hill now
.68- 4:42- Not the best effort here, Dave was nice and came and helped me to the exchange.
Leg 7- 4.44 miles 29:04 (6:33 average)
Well by this time we had a pretty good lead on the other teams, so I just tried to keep things nice and easy. I was a little disappointed my ipod quit working, so I ran this leg just listening to the voices in my head, which can be scary
1-6:27
2-6:31
3-6:40 Actually thought I was going faster than the first two miles, but I guess I wasn't
4-6:31
.44- 2:53
Overall happy with the effort, even though I've been coughing ever since I stopped running. Hoping maybe the extra effort today will work some of this sickness out of the body. Always fun to run and hang with Bill, Clyde, Dave, and Steve. It was also cool being able to see Mike, Bruce, and James at all the different exchanges. |
