Notes
Would have to say our most successful GLR yet. Our mixed team took 1st overall and my squad (Team NBA) took 5th overall in the open division. Nobody got substantially lost (more than 15 minutes) and I was happy with how our team ran.
Also happy with how I ran, obviously. ~6:36/mile average over 32 hard miles, a healthy amount on the trails. I think that is about the average pace I've run the last GLR, but the trails I ran were substantially harder and I ran a few more miles than past GLRs. Best thing was that I felt strong on the last day and my last leg. Consistent mileage is paying off in these types of situations. I really think that I lack in the type of quality work where I can start running fast, but hopefully over the next few months I'll get a decent amount of that in. Got some high goals for the next 6-9 months, but I think I'm in a good place to start moving towards them.
Also, can't forget the craziness of Day 3. Race was almost cancelled because a 17-year old girl never finished her leg on Day 2. Definite mix of emotions after that, but she was found, which was good news and everyone voted to continue.
