I'm pretty sure there are a few brain cells missing. Why else would I continue to sign up and do these crazy races? I mean honestly. A few weeks ago I was asked by a fellow runner to join up on run the Ragnar Zion Trail Run. Here I was thinking yes, trail running and road running are the same thing!! yeah not so much. I did however, finish it!
I road down with Herlevi and Kelli and just crashed their house overnight. Costco down in St. George is slightly amazing. Honestly, Their quality was so much better than the ones around here. Oh plus they have this pork jerky I could probably die eating!
Back to the running. The trail run was different than any previous relay run I have done in the past. Our 8 person team took turn each running a 3.6-the yellow loop, a 3.8-the green loop, and a 7.2-the red loop. Each was cruel in its own way. The yellow had a mountain to run up, the red was a cold night run that never ended, the green was pretty and rocky. The best part was being able to sleep in a sleeping bag, in a tent. I must admit one of the highlights was the warm shower at 0245. I ran and loved it. Another race down. A bunch more to go!
