20 hours 53 min

Wasatch Back Relay- Ragnar style

So I tried posting this last week and for some reason it didn't save. It frustrated me to no end- but we will try again.

Corporate Chaos finished the 181 mile race in a short 20hrs and 53 min. Yeah!! Brandon's team was 8th overall- which is amazing!!! There were over 550 teams. They won their division- "Corporate" and actually are the first corporate team to break 21 hrs ever. The next corporate team was over 4hrs behind them. Brandon seemed to really enjoy this race but it sure kicked his butt!!!

He ran his first leg at 3:30pm, it was 6.7 miles long and about 90 degrees. Brandon was not ready for the heat and was glad just to finish this leg. He ran it in about 49min about 1min 20sec behind his "predicted time."

10:30pm time to run again. This leg was an easier 3 mile jaunt. It had cooled off a bit and he did it in 21min, about 30sec ahead of his predicted time.

2am time to try and get some sleep. They threw some sleeping bags on the grass at a park and tried to get some snooze time.

4am- Time to get up and in the van again.

5:30am Brandon runs his last and final leg. He enjoyed the 5.3miles from Oakley to Kamas. He stated the sun was just coming up and over Timpanogos Mtn. He ran his last leg in 38min about 30sec behind predicted time.

11:45am The entire team runs the last few hundred yard to cross the finish line. YEAH!!

Brandon was sure beat by the time he got home on Saturday. I let him take a little nap, about 1 1/2hrs and then his mean wife made him get up to play!! I was bored as he had left me all by my self for the weekend. Grrr.
