Crap, I just lost what I wrote. So, this will be a little shorter than the first one
AM: 3 miles in just over 23 minutes
PM: leg 1 - I started with Kyle Perry and Mike Vick running a leg of 5.14 miles. Perry took off right from the start and I stayed with Vick through just over 2 miles and hung less than 10 seconds behind him through 3 miles. I hit a decent uphill after mile 3, and Perry and Vick both gapped me by a good amount. I am still having issues with running uphill and I am not sure why. I am not too concerned with it, but I am thinking about doing some strength training to get my leg strength up. Total time for the leg 28:28.
mile 1 - 5:06
2 - 5:18
3 - 5:28 I was hurting a bit this mile because I started out too fast, but it was manageable.
4 - 5:51 going uphill now. Legs felt weak, but breathing was relaxed.
5 - 5:51 still uphill.
leg 2 - 8.5 miles. We were about 16 minutes behind BYU at this point in a solid 2nd place. I took the handoff from Clyde and took off at a decent pace, but not too hard because I didn't want to kill myself before the downhill started. The hill crested and started down right at the mile mark. It then headed down for about .75 and then had a slight uphill for .25 on both the 2nd and 3rd miles. 4th mile had a little more uphill followed by a rolling 5th mile. The 6th mile was similar to the 4th, and the 7th was a moderate downhill all the way. The 8th mile was starting to flatten out a bit more, followed by a half mile to the finish. Total time for the leg 44:05
mile 1 - 6:33
2 - 4:52
3 - 4:50
4 - 5:04
5 - 5:21 rolling mile
6 - 5:03 had trouble getting the legs going after the roller
7 - 4:48
8 - 5:07 the GPS battery got low and I wasn't getting quarter splits so I lost concentration |
