Leg 32 - 5.5 miles - Moderate - Uphill passing Deer Creek to Midway - 5440' to 5718' 9:14/mi. This was a hot run, uphill all the way. I felt pretty good, but had to work hard. I passed 20 runners and was not passed. Overall, I passed 55 runners and was not passed. I credit this to three things: 1) I had one of the easier leg assignment in Van 2, so I was likely running against some of the weaker runners from the other teams, 2) all the fast teams passed our team while the other van was on, and 3) I'm getting a little fitter and faster. During this relay, for the first time in a few years, I felt like a real runner again. It gave me hope that maybe one day I'll be as fast as I once was.
