My Second leg was at 3 am and I did a 1 mile warmup and my thighs were tight! I had leg 17 this time and it was 4.4 miles with 1.5 down and flat and the rest all up a gradual hill. I missed hitting my watch from the first half mile. my time from 3.91 miles was 23:12 One mile cooldown.

My Third leg was 29 and I started at 9 am. The sun was out and it was about 55 degrees already! Very Nice. Im so jealous of this weather.  This leg was 4.95 miles and I did a 1 mile warmup and a 1 mile cooldown.

Good job Walter! Clyde said it was fun to have you in the van. I'm sure we will be seeing you at races this summer!

Amazing! You ran well. Good choice, having a blast on a relay or suffering on Ogden's hills again.

Walter, it was great to get to know you. You ran awesome and really put it all on the table. Glad I didn't offend you too much with my tired rants and ravings!

It was great getting to know you beter on the trip. You are a stud and ran an amazing race. Looking forward to running with you again in the future.

Great job Walter! Glad you got to enjoy some great weather. Might want to rethink your jealousy when July rolls around, though!

Glad to have you join us in the relay. You ran awesome, every leg! Hopefully I'll still be alive to see you at Moab on Saturday.
