Had so much fun running Del Sol Ragnar! I got just what I wanted out of it. Some nice half marathon/marathon paced tempo runs. I did not push myself too hard at all but I did hit some solid paces without feeling like I was giving maximum effort.
Leg 1. 8.7 miles. This was by far the toughest leg with 600 foot elevation gain. I paced 7:30 and ran incredibly consistently. It was hot.
Leg 2. 6 miles. Started at 6:50pm and was absolutely gorgeous out. This leg was downtown and I got stopped by quite a few stop lights. Other than that it was flat and nice and easy. I paced 7:14 and felt great.
Leg 3. 3.44 miles. This leg started at 3:45am and I was still dead asleep. My first mile was 8:18!! ha! When my Garmin beeped at mile 1 I figured I better kick my rear into gear and ended up pacing 7:29.
Leg 4. 4.2 miles. Recovery run with one of our vans runners watching the sun rise at 6:45. Absolutely gorgeous!! 9:19 pace.
Our team was the 10th team to cross the finish line and we passed over 250 teams. I am sure we didn't do too great but am excited to see where we placed overall. It was a great trip! |
