After 50' nap in backseat of car, Jenny got things started off with a 2mile climb out of the state park and then Craig had a pretty good leg, it started snowing for good measure by the time I got my handoff and continued through my entire leg which was on dirt, muddy at times. I donned the OU singlet for this one and just ran progressively, finished with not a single patch of skin unmuddied and legs went numb but really felt pretty decent, averaged sub 6 for 7 miles and 20 miles total all of which were run on hilly dirt roads, team ended up losing by 12 minutes in a 29 hour race, I would have liked to run the uphill leg against the all guys team, our team was coed 50/50 with a 50 year old woman and 65 year old man. |
