My next leg was at like 5 in the morning, and it was 5.5 miles around rockport lake. It was really pretty with the sun just thinking about starting to come up, but pretty cold. I averaged like 6 minute pace, so not very fast, but my legs were just not wanting to pick it up.
My last leg was interesting. Joe had just killed the massive hill, and Mckay had run an 8:40 two mile coming down from it, so I was pretty pumped up. I ended up going out way too fast and splitting like a 5:10 for my first mile. next mile was a 5:30, then things went downhill. It was like a bajillion degrees outside, and I hadn't eaten anything since midnight, and I started to really fall off the pace. third mile I was able to hang on for a 6:40, but on my fourth I bonked. I ran an 8:40, then a 9:10 last mile haha. I stumbled into the exchanged zone, and Patrick and Joe had to help me get to the van. The Ragnar people pumped some sugar into me via otter pops, and got me hydrated and out of the sun. After 10 minutes I was able to function again, but was still hurting. We drove to the finish and waited for Casey to finish, then hung around the finish area, and ate and got massages and stuff. We ended up getting third overall behind BYU and Davis. We actually hung out with the BYU guys quite a bit because they had a few guys from AF on the team. Fun stuff.
