Hello everyone! I survived my very first relay race, however barely. It was the most legendary experience I’ve ever been on as well as I liked it!
Each leg of the race was extremely different so I’m going to publish each one individually. (I published about my very first leg in my previous post, however it was from the van as well as I want to keep in mind all of it here.)
After we left the begin van 2 relaxed as well as waited for our Camiseta Selección de fútbol de Polonia turn.
We piled into our embellished van as well as just laid low for a while.
Then, we headed to the very first shift early to applaud on Camiseta Juventus the other runners as well as wait on our very first runner to go.
New balance even had somebody drive the van for us. Monica [turned out to be] our driver/coach/life saver. Seriously. She totally made the weekend for us. She took care of all the concern as well as directed us to the where, when, why, exactly how of everything. She was the 7th member of our team as well as AMAZING.
We started our very first leg at 4pm. Tina went very first as well as I was after her. After she was off as well as running we satisfied her half method for water as well as support as well as then headed to my hand off area.
My very first leg was 7.58 miles. It had a great deal of downhill, however one super big hill that killed my quads. I flew down the very first hill as well as did 7:09 my very first mile of my very first leg!
Yeah, that’s not smart. I had 21 miles to go for the weekend as well as that’s quicker than I’ve run in my life.

All the enjoyment as well as waiting as well as adrenaline just had me so pumped I flew with my very first leg (again it was a great deal of downhill, one killer hill).
7.58 miles typical speed – 8:05
Monica advised me I came in 5 minutes quicker than we had calculated. Which would have been incredible if I didn’t have one more 15 miles to run. But, I figured I’d just try to stay on speed for my next leg as well as go with it.
Hand off to Theordora!

I passed one woman going up the huge hill (she stopped to walk), however I didn’t pass anyone else the entire race. I’m not competitive with this stuff at all, however it does bum me out that I truly ran as quick as I might as well as didn’t pass anyone. Then, other women in the van would surface their race as well as say, “I got 3 road kills!”.
I was only passed by males as well as they were super quick so I don’t feel poor about it. But, at the time I believed I was doing something wrong to not pass anyone.
I was still pumped after, however understood I needed to refuel since the journey was only 1/3 over. I had an apple right after, however desired something with the great carbs to protein ratio. (Where’s chocolate milk when you requirement it?!)
After my leg we headed to the next shift area as well as I got nekkid in the back of a van. Luckily, it was our van as well as I was solo.
I brought infant wipes for a quick wipe down, however I’m quite sure I still smelled like a sweaty pair of boxer shorts some guy failed to remember about in his trunk in August.
A great deal of the shift areas had bake sales or other food for purchase.
Well, this ended up being the perfect publish run stop for me since they had Chobani! The protein / carb combo I was needing! Don’t mind the attractive stretching in the background. The weekend got a great deal more inappropriate from here, however those stories stay in the van.
The energy stays so high when it’s your van’s turn. There is always somebody who just came back from their turn as well as is PUMPED UP!
Monica made us a spreadsheet of expected begin as well as surface time which assisted keep us feeling organized as well as not frazzled.
We stopped 1/3 of the method into each runner’s leg to make sure they were okay, provide them water as well as applaud them on. We would likewise ask if they desired us one more mile or two up Camiseta Newcastle United or if we might wait at the next transition. This truly assisted everyone!
Anne getting prepared for her very first leg. That’s our drive/coach/lifesaver Monica with her.
Elizabeth bringing it in!
Our last runner was Ashley from healthy happier Bear. She had the most gorgeous run!
We were done around 8pm as well as after our last runner we went to eat dinner. We ended up at a random Italian restaurant that I would not recommend. The food was not great as well as I’m quite sure that was the culprit for our tummy issues the next day.
I wascraving a huge turkey sandwich, however they didn’t have anything like that. I settled on tuna as well as stole a few bites of Ashley’s pasta.
There were a great deal of issues with our order as well as Theodora was told to push off the meatballs on her pasta if she ordered it without. however we were so tired we just ate it.
After dinner we headed to get some sleep, which wasn’t comfortable or easy. The shift car parking great deal was loud as well as we didn’t bring sleeping bags so we squished in the car. I basically tossed as well as turned for 2 hours as well as then it was time for Tina to get prepared for leg #2.
Sneak preview: I totally autumn apart in leg 2. stay tuned.
