AM:  Woke up at 4:30...laughed for 5 seconds...4:31 fell back asleep...

Evening:  So yeah this morning was not going to happen for me with the group run.  Finally got out this evening around the Draper perimeter.  18:10 @2mile mark.  I think that is a 9:slow AP.  Finally felt normal at about 4 miles and felt the shift.  I should not have had this much latic with the type of "workout" I had Saturday.  I think its understandable if my body would have experienced real race mode.  Very understandable if you have raced the past 2 Sat. in a row...WALTER, MATT, MIKE!  Anyways, so I picked up the next 4.5 mile to just under MP which actually felt comfortable.  Guess my energy levels are back to normal.  By the way, I don't want the stomach bug again this year.  That sucked...

Weights:  Chest...

RAGNAR RELAY:  

 

So Bill Hiatt convinced me to join his Roadrunners team.  Lot of great guys on the team that I already knew and got to know better throughout the two days.  I had been told that I needed to do this once and qualify for Boston in order to be a true runner. :) I figured why not try it once.  

First Leg:  AVON PASS -  Toni handed off to me first.  I had about a 1.3 mile climb to the top.  Kept it around 7:20 ap during this stretch.  I was definitely not warmed up enough to run this leg but got into the leg and just tried to enjoy the scenery.  Amazing views coming down into Eden.  The pass was pretty crazy.  I do not do a lot of trails and it showed.  I could not go faster than 5:20 pace coming down the pass because of the rock and dirt that made my footing just feel weird.  The temp also changed coming out of the canyon. I felt depleted at 5.5 miles.  I should have drank more water and had the team support me here.  This was my own fault.  Great leg though.  I was about 2 minutes off my goal time for this leg...

A little over 3 miles of wu and cd...

12:30AM Second Leg East Canyon Climb -  Weber State caught our team here.  I received the exchange from Steve shortly after they arrived.  It was dark and I just told myself to enjoy the climb.  I am not really a strong climber but was excited to run this leg.  I felt warm up.  My right foot felt really tender from the Avon Pass.  I felt I had stress fractured or badly strained my outside metatarsal.  Oh well.  Keep on Keeping on.  I felt very relaxed going up the canyon.  The temp was a cool 47 degrees.  Made it very easy.  My quads were hammered from the downhill but just relaxed through this leg.  I kept my pace between 6:40 and 7:15 the first 6 miles.  It felt very comfortable.  When I hit the main climb I dropped to 8:29 and 7:47 for the last few miles.  I was tired coming up the last stretch but felt very good coming into the end.  7:17AP for the leg.  

9:20AM Third Leg - 2.15 mile Flat around Heber to Jr High. - Got the exchange from Steve and took off as fast as I could go.  Toni decided he wanted to run with me as a little tempo workout.  It was fun to cruise with him.  I couldn't believe I could not go fast then 5:50 pace for this leg.  My legs were just hammered and no sleep really does effect you.  Still managed to do the leg in 12:34. Felt comfortable but the leg was so short that by the time I was warmed up and ready to go it was over.

Really had a great time with everyone during this event.  I didn't realize that passing people would be that fun.  The kills part of this relay makes the event really fun.  I think we had over 900 kills as a team.  I really enjoyed getting to know the team mates a lot better.  Felt like a college cross country trip the whole time.  I am convinced this would be fun to do with these guys again.  Congrats to all the teams and people that participated.  Had a great time...
