This last weekend I ran in the Wasatch Back. For those of you who don't know what that is, it's a 12 man relay from Logan to Park City. Each runner has 3 legs and it lasts from Friday to Saturday.
Van 2 or as I referred to us as Van AWESOME!
The first exchange between the vans. Our van was runners 7-12 and I was runner 7 so everytime it was our turn I was first. This is aunt Lorie the marathoner, so I would book it the first part until I was out of her eyesight and then slow 'er down. I had to impress (don't worry I did)
I had an encounter with a snake! Don't worry this is me giving the ok.
Uncle Randy getting me some water. It was so hot!! 5 pm run, I was a sweatin!
This is the other Randy (Steiny) he is my parents neighbor and quite the addition to the team!! He was constantly eating junk food right before his run and still rocked it! Iron Stomach, so funny!! This is him following all traffic rules, only 55 mph :)
This was Robert's motto and inspiration!
Christy had the hardest run. Right up Snow Basin but she never stopped or slowed down. We seriously had the toughest team!
This was my second leg I finished at 3 am. It was a little rough right up East Canyon they called it a moderate incline Ugh I don't want to see their hard incline. Don't worry I totally passed 4 people (that's called road kill in the racing world!) By the end we as a van had over 75 road kills. I know we rock!
This is Stephanie climbing a mountain! It was so hard!
This is Uncly Randy running into the storm. It was almost over! Christy was all that was left.
The weather we encountered, poor Christy had to run in a monsoon to finish up the race!Overall we place 258 out of over 600 teams. And in our division we place 184! I don't think that's too bad at all for Rookies. We finished in 30 hours and 40 minutes and we did this on no sleep!! GO TEAM HUTCHIBY!!
