The Wastach Back Relay was fun in an unusual way as usual.  I'm glad to be on team "2 Slow 2 Win 2 Dumb 2 Quit" with great people and good runners.  We took 35th overall and 2nd in the submasters men division with a 24:21:15.

I ran in van#1 in the order of 1) me, 2) Kevin, 3) Will, 4) Scott, 5) Tom, & 6) Paul.  We started at 3PM.  I was hoping to win my leg as I started the run but when I heard Ron Greenwood was also running that leg I figured 2nd place was probably my new goal.  It was fun riding up to the Logan with the team and around the race and watching all the runners.  Being the 1st runner has its advantages.  I got to start the race with about 20 other runners which makes it feel like a normal race.  I was feeling gooood.  I started off fast and was in the led until we turned a few blocks down the road so I at least impressed the people watching the start.  Very soon after turning the corner Ron slowly passed me.  My 1st mile was in 5:55 and my average for the 5.15 miles which had a net elevation gain of 65 feet was a 6:15.  I was happy because Ron only beat me by about 45 seconds and I got 2nd.

My 2nd leg started at about 11pm.  It was 1 mile to the top of Trappers loop summit and then 7.5 miles steep down.  My miles were as follows: 7:59, 5:30, 5:34, 6:02, 6:21, 5:43, 5:26, 5:39, last .49 was in 5:57 avg.  The total was a 6:02 avg.  I had to slow done on mile 5 because my left quad started twitching like it didn't like the down hill abuse and was thinking of cramping up or I probably would have gone sub 6 avg for the leg.  Net elevation loss was 1400 feet.
