4 mile run this morning with the guys here in Orem again. We are now heading up to Logan to start our WBR weekend extravaganza.
3.1 miles durning my first leg in 22:00 1.6 miles of warm-up before the leg
The first leg looks pretty nasty on paper and then once we go there it looked just as scary in person. You start down in a hole or deep valley and it just goes straight up or looks like it. However as I started to climb it leveled out for a short portion of the first mile- not very long but just enough to give the legs a short break from the uphill action.
When I started I was really hesitant to go into full race mode because of my diaphragm. I was feeling good but thought as soon as I pushed the pace at all it would start hurting (the good news is it never did the whole weekend). But it made me run a little tentatively, maybe like 90% effort just to be safe kind of feeling. So I worked up the hill and really enjoyed the first leg running it at 22:00- just 13 seconds slower than Sasha's predicted time. Then at the had of I dropped the baton bracelet durning the hand off to Jeff M. OOPS!
Good first day of the race. Or Van was the 2nd van and had Dave H, Logan F, Seth W, Taylor P, Adam W, Myself, and a driver named Jake (Seth's brother-in-law). All great guys and I had a great weekend with them.
The other van had Sasha, Jeff M, Jeff S, Tyler, Hayden, and Walter.
