Our first legs that were up in the Valley, by my parents house.
Cody and I got talked into doing a relay called the Wasatch Back that starts in Logan, and ends up in Park City. It is 180 miles total, and 12 people to a team. Each person has to run 3 legs that range anywhere from 3.5 -7 miles, and rated either EASY, MODERATE, HARD, OR VERY HARD. We were both very nervous for it, as it grew closer and closer to the day. My legs were...3.5 miles EASY, 6.2 MODERATE, and 3.5 VERY HARD. You have about 6-8 hrs inbetween each leg. It was surprisingly a lot of fun, and we both did a lot better than we thought! We both ran in the middle of the night, and that was our favorite part! It was so peaceful, and there was a great crisp chill to the air. To finish off our last legs, I started first in Midway, and ran up the backside of the mountain to Deer Valley Resort. It was 80° out, and I climbed 1600 ft in 3.5 miles. I had to walk/run, but was still very pleased, because I passed 8 people (6 were men) and only got passesd by 2 people! I was so hot, and had only slept 1 hour in the past 30 hrs, but was able to finish strong w/ the help of my team! Cody took the last 4 miles up to the top, and didn't stop to walk at all!! Keep in mind, he is NOT a runner, and has only run outside (for fun) 5 times in his whole life!! Our team finished in 25 hrs 37 min and placed 71st out of 577 teams! We can't wait for next year!!
