Tri, that sounds about like how that Vail half felt for me. I was pretty happy to finish - to heck with the time!

Ragnar relay is done! I think our team finished about 2:15 ahead of schedule but we have no idea of the overall results (except that we didn't come anywhere near winning). My legs totaled 20.1 miles (officially - my second leg felt like a kindergartener had scribbled a trail in the midst of some neighborhood, and since it was midnight and pitch black I have no idea how far I really ran. It felt longer than the official measured distance though). I ran the first one really well (8.8 miles), second one was quick enough except for the whole running-in-circles feeling (4.6 miles), and the third one I was happy to finish (6.7 miles). All had a net uphill. The last one I really wanted to walk at one point, and then this cat was waiting beside the trail so I stopped for about 10 seconds to pet him and decided no walk breaks after that! I'm totally wiped out and can't wait for a shower and bed.
