I ran with some neighbors in the Utah Marathon Relay that started at the lifetime Fitness building next to the Jordan River path just off of 106th South.  We had 2 women and 3 males on our mixed team.  I'm not sure but I'll bet the 2 women beat the other two men on our team in terms of time.

My neighbor puts on the race and I helped him set up and take down the race and was at one of the aid stations for a couple of hours. 

I was the 1st runner on our team.  After setting up I had just enough time to go to the bathroom and stretch out and run for about 1 minute before the race started.  I felt very good before the start which usually means I'll have a good race.  At the starting line I found out that the 1st runner only runs about 5 miles and the other 4 runners run 5.3.  I took off and lead the whole way.  After about 2 miles there was someone only about 30 yards back and I was determined not to let him pass me.  I'm sure he help me push my time.  I only saw the 1 mile marker and the 5 mile marker.  It appeared that I was doing close to 6:00 minute miles.  I ended up coming in about 1 minute and 15 seconds ahead of the next runner. 

I handed off to Susett and she kept us in 1st place, she handed off to Dave and he let one runner go by but our other two runners Cathy and Toones didn't let anyone pass them so we took 2nd place with well over a 3 hour marathon.  The times of the 38 teams were not to fast but it seemed that most people had a great time.  They even had a live band that played for the first few hours.  We took 1st in the mixed division.

I enjoyed the couse, about 2/3rds of it was on the river path and in a park.  I cooled down by running with a team member for a couple of miles.

Nice race Terry. Looks like you averaged under 6 min pace overall so you can even count these as "fast" miles.

Sounds like a fun little relay. Maybe next year we can see if any of the WBR team want to put together a team. Seems like we could be pretty competitive.

Congratulations, Terry. Sounds like your training has put you in great shape. Have you got any other races planned?

Kerry,

The Stake I'm in is running a 5K this weekend. Me and some of my family will run in it. I'll probably push my youngest in a stroller.
