Wasatch Back Relay!

Oh wow I didn't realize how long it had been since I had published anything.  So I thought I'd say something about last Friday and Saturday, the WASATCH BACK RELAY!  It was pretty awesome and better in a lot of ways than last year.  It didn't get as hot, for starters.  And I didn't have problems with nausea at 3 in the morning the way I did last year either.  But I don't think I've ever been in that much pain while running.  I didn't prepare well at all and I was pretty tired after the first leg.  By the last one, I had shooting pain in both knees from running on the slight slant found on the roads (I usually run on sidewalks).  But at the finish line I got a most excellent massage that helped loosen everything up.  Our team finished in 28 hours and 55 seconds, which I think is better than last year, thanks mostly to Van 2 being filled with speed demons.  A good race I'd say and I'm happy that I can walk down stairs normally again.
