My
first relay race, Wild Miles was 180 miles run by a 10-man
team from Temecula CA to San Dieguito CA. Because 4 of the
10 runners were obligated to go to a formal Dining In on Saturday,
the other 6 started the race at 1100 on Saturday and after
the dinner, the other 4 of us showed up and started our legs
at 0200 Sunday morning. A mere 10 hours later, we crossed
the finish line, everyone having completed 3 legs of the race
each.
It
really did live up to its title "adventure"
and I'm proud to say that we took first place in the men's
military category. More stories to come when I get the blogs
done...
My
pace times weren't bad. I was surprised when I did the calculation
but here they are:
