I had a blast last weekend running the Wasatch Back! It was an amazing, exhausting, and exciting experience. My van was so much fun. We laughed and cheered each other on. I loved getting to know new friends, and old friends better.(Bunny, Jenny, Courtney, Shelly, Heather and Me)
Van One started in Logan and we met up with them in Huntsville. When we started, it was 90 degrees and dusty, but we ran through it. Mitch came and met up with me for my second leg of the race at 3 o'clock in the morning. (Can you say "Husband of the Year!) The temperature had dropped to 40 degrees...burr! He biked with me while I ran 7 miles down the canyon into Hennefer. It was such an amazing run. It was beautiful, crisp, and when do you ever get to run at THREE A.M.?
We did take a three hour pit stop at my parents cabin while van one ran, but that was about it. We were running off of two hours sleep and onto day two. We started in Midway and ran through Wasatch National Forrest then up and over Guardsman's into Deer Valley and finished the race in Park City. Wow...it was "killer" but we loved every bit of it.
This is me after my third leg - 6.2 miles through Midway. The girls kept me cool with a super-soker and making sure I had plenty of water to drink. Again it was 90 + degrees, but strange as it may sound, that only made the day more exciting!
Finally Finished and with all the girls! We had the best team. I can't wait to do it again!
