Red Rock Relay

So this is very old but finally got around to posting about it. Some friends from work and some of thier friends did the Red Rock Relay from Brian Head to Zions National Park in September. It was so fun there were only a few of us that had ran a race or even ran for that matter. (It was so fun we already signed up to do it again next year!)It does sound crazy to be in a car for 36 hours with no showering and sleeping for as little or as much as you can. Yes, I was the one that slept each time we stopped to sleep.

My first run the temperature was perfect. Well until it started hailing thankfully it only lasted about two miles. I had welts when I was done running. Then our second run was at night. These are my favorite runs they are so peaceful. The last run was the worst. It was in the middle of the day and the temperatures were high that day.

The whole team did great on each of thier runs. We thought we would average 13 minute miles. Well we beat that number by a long shot! We finished in 36.3 hours that is 3 hours before our projected time. It was so fun. Thanks to all my teammates for making this a great race!
