Notes
DEST Relay leg 6
Got out a little hot and realized within a couple miles that I would need to take it a little slower than planned. Started about 2-3min after Moter (tall Euro dude on the ultra team, not sure how to spell his name) but I was slowly losing ground on him and after a while I was no longer to see his back-light intermittently. I started off feeling relatively cool but after less than a mile I was feeling really warm and sweating a ton. The footing wasn't great but not terrible, and once again I found myself thinking that I should get trail shoes, or at least better treaded shoes, if I do this race again in the future. Racing by headlamp is definitely tough because it's harder to gauge pace, but racing more on effort was pretty fun. It was hard to tell the uphillness vs downhillness by sight but once I ran a couple downhills I got a good feel for it and tried to open up more on the downhills.
