The Las Vegas Ragnar was great.  It had a lot of rolling hills that seemed to catch my team by suprise.  I ran legs 7 & 9.  Taunia was going to run the 1st leg of leg 9 and I'd to the rest but her PF was bad and there was a lot going on so she stayed home and let me run them all. 

My plan was to run at marathon pace and then hammer the last leg as best as I could.  I stuck to the plan until my 5th leg when I heard someone catching up to me on my way up a good mountain pass and I decided to kick it into race gear and I'm proud to say no one passed me the entire race.  The problem with kicking it into race gear on the 5th leg was that it waisted me for the last leg and my legs started cramping up with 3 miles to go.  My last two miles of the race were just over 10 minute miles.  Maybe if I would have had more than 40 minutes to recover from the 10 mile 5th leg I might have been able to get a little better time.

Our team got 4th place in the Coed SubMaster division missing 3rd place by only 5 minutes.  If we wouldn't have had a lost runner once or I wouldn't have cramped up we may have got 3rd place.  We were 43rd out of the 400 teams with a time of 28:38.

That's a lot of miles Terry, nice work. Pretty good team placing.

Sub-masters?

Not too shabby Terry. Hope the legs are being kind too you in the days following.

34 miles of ragnar is easier on the legs than 26.2 miles of running with no breaks. I was less sore than 3 weeks earlier after the St. George marathon.

Ragnar has a 30 and over Sub-Master category.

Hey Terry...this is the first I've seen your report. Sorry to hear Taunia wasn't able to participate. Dang PF! (If it has "Changs" after it then it's ok, but not by itself!) Mmmmm....now I want a lettuce wrap and the great wall of chocolate!....Anyway....great job!
