Wasatch Back: Ragnar Relay

Yes, I did partake in the Ragnar Relay of Utah. Being runner 1 and 21 miles of terrain led me to heliolatry, which drove me to gallons of water. It was a hot couple of days and a ton of fun.

Stuff you should know:
188 miles from Logan to Park City
12 person team
2 vans per team
and a whole lot of running!

I completed my first leg of 7.9 miles (I still think it was only 7.0 miles) in 55 minutes. Second leg of 8.7 miles in 68 minutes. The third and final leg of 4.0 miles from Oakley to Kamas in 40 minutes. Don't ask me what happened at the end. I blame it on the head wind and the 16 miles I ran a few hours earlier.

All in all I loved it and am grateful that my wife and kids let me do it. Does anyone know a good masseuse?
