1st leg starting around noon, warmed up minimally and probably went out a tad fast but had no clue what terrain awaited me, had long downhill where I looked at my watch and was running 5:00 pace on rocky trail for most of the mile proceeded by a creek crossing and immediate resubmit of that same elevation I had just lost but mostly in the first 1/4 mile, passed a runner here, it looks like we climbed 300 feet in a 1/4 mile, the vehicles were getting stuck here. Closed it out on a mile of pavement uphill and into the wind, ~6.5 mi stage w/ 1mi wu/cd 2nd leg forget quite when the handoff was probably around 11pm?, smartly gave up the idea to wear socks on any legs at this point as it was all wet and muddy and a sock just held on to any moisture. So it was obviously total darkness for these legs, wearing a headlamp but all on dirt roads and whatnot, fun but eery for sure, ran strong but stomach felt kind of heavy early and eventually after I had a downhill stretch that I pushed, I had to take a pit stop, which I did right in the middle of the road because no one was anywhere around and I couldn't even see where I could jump off the road into the brush, no harm done. I think this leg ended up being close to 8mi, minimal wu/cd, no Garmin data for this but maybe 51' of effort if I recall? |
