I am happy to report that I survived the Ragnar Wasatch Back Relay Race.\u00a0 The team consisted of friends and family, many of them more consistent runners that me. Nevertheless, I assumed role of Team Captain (in charge of nagging, mostly) and took the set of legs with the highest mileage.\u00a0 What was I thinking? I was most concerned about the stress fracture on my ankle – which had been feeling great as of late, and my IT band which has been a consistent problem as of late.\u00a0 With the high mileage and some very long stretches of steep downhill, both injuries had opportunity to act up.\u00a0 Thankfully – neither did!!!\u00a0 Every muscle and joint was sore and has been since, but those injuries have been ok.\u00a0 In any case, here are the 3 legs.<\/p>\n

1st Leg (Nr. 11)<\/h1>\n

7.5 miles in <\/abbr>1:24:40 @ 11:21 min\/mile and 1,823 ft elevation<\/a><\/h2>\n
