Rainier to Ruston is probably hands-down, my favorite race. It's laid-back feel, the beautiful trails, the fun people and the only one-day commitment. We had another awesome team running together this year. Mostly women from the ward and Krista, my long-time friend. A few of us ran three legs which made this run so much more challenging, yet feeling accomplished at the end.
I was lucky to run the first leg of this race. 5 miles, uphill with some rolling hills and an average 9:00 pace. Felt good to rock a good time!
I also ran another leg in the middle of the race which was 3.5 miles, flat and again, did an average 9:00 pace. We were leap-frogging a military team of guys and we were determined to not let them beat us. The challenge kept us very motivated to keep passing them.
This is leg 12 of the race- the final stretch. I felt guilty I got to start AND finish the race, but it was oh so fun. 4.5 miles along the harbor, 9:40 pace. Here I am finishing the race with our military friends.
It was a great day!
And you can't beat the view at the finish!
