Wasatch Back was just another experience in a long list where I have been amazed by your hard work, determination, teamwork, guts, positive attitudes, and strength of character.<br />I would love to hear from each of you about how the experience went for you. I wish I could have spent more time with you guys during the relay and I wish I could have seen more of you run. In the short times that I did see you, it was so fun to hear how things were going for you. I was lucky enough to watch Hollie and Emily with their great start in the heat for the girls. I saw Leland take off from the starting line in his wrestling singlet. I got to run for just a little while with Jessie as she was finishing her killer 2nd leg. I kept hearing about how much of an animal Curtis was throughout the entire relay. We drove past Julianne as she was cruising on her 2nd leg. I saw Carlee for just a second while she was flying down the hill on her last leg. And I was lucky enough to get to see both teams finish strong. But I would love it if you all sent me an email letting me know what was memorable for you and what you enjoyed and how you felt and what you learned. I wanted to especially thank the seniors (those who just graduated) for making it so fun and for having 1 last race with your TEAM. I got a little emotional waiting for the girls to finish because I was thinking about how much you all have done and about how much I will miss you. (Really I was emotional because I hadn't slept and I ran harder than I am used to).<br />I can imagine that you are as tired and as sore as I am. I am having trouble moving around. But it is that kind of pain where I know I worked hard for it--I kind of like that pain and hate it at the same time. In the same way that I love the relay and hate it at the same time--but mostly love it. We will take this week pretty easy to recover and then start hitting it hard again next week.<br /><br />Here is how things finished up:<br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Davis Boys</span><span style="font-weight: bold;"> </span>- 20:32.10; 1st place high school boys division (beating the northern Utah all-stars by 31 minutes); 6th fastest team overall; 6:33 mile pace (15 seconds faster than last year). It was the toughest relay team we have ever put together. It was also the 5th straight year that we have won the high school division (5 out of 5 years they have had the high school division).Thanks to Steve Petty and Seth Frischknecht for being our drivers. We have the best drivers in the relay!<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Davis Girls</span><span style="font-weight: bold;"> </span>- 24:36.24; 1st place high school girls division (there were more than 1 team -- there were 2); 28th fastest team overall (out of 687 teams); 2nd place out of all the female teams (it lists 3rd on the results, but I am pretty sure the 2nd place team is an error); 7:51 mile pace (just 4 seconds off of last year). Thanks to Lisa Brown, Becky Kussee, and Jill Hedquist for driving, staying up all night, and for being prepared and inspirational.<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Weber State Alumni Men's Team</span> - (my team) - 18:57 - we finished 3rd behind BYU and the team of college runners that Seth Gutzwiller ran on. I can tell I am getting old, but it was still a lot of fun to hang out with my old teammates and to push my limits on the legs that I ran. We also had Janae's husband Kenneth on the team and Brad was our fearless, hilarious, motivational, driver.<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Weber State Alumni Women's Team</span> - both Janae and Stefanie (my wife) ran on this team. 24:24. They did a tremendous job and were determined not to get beat by our young legs. I was extremely proud of Stef and of Janae for running so hard. It was fun to compete with them again like last year. They are good examples for our girls, and I think they also learned a lot from our girls. Congrats, Janae and Stef and the other Weber women, on a great run. (We'll get you next year :)<br /><br />I also saw a ton of former Darts tearing it up - Erica Christensen, Jake and Ally Thompson, Josh Adams, Seth Gutzwiller, Natalie Haws, Loren Storey, Ally Adams, Britin Storey, Bree Arnold, Carolyn Swenson<br /><br />Thanks again for all of the effort and help you put into the race. I am so proud of you all. It was funny, at the finish area an old friend said, "How did your <span style="font-style: italic;">team</span> do?" I immediately responded "Both the boys and the girls won the high school division and the girls were 2nd overall in the female division; they did great." The friend said, "I meant the <span style="font-style: italic;">team</span> you ran on." And I realized that you are my <span style="font-style: italic;">TEAM</span> - the ones I care most about - the ones I see working together all the time.<br />Thanks<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"><br />Caitlin Miller -</span><br />1. I LOVED IT!<br />2. This was the best experience to describe the word "team"<br />3. Our skirts were so awesome! Me and Em decided to go shopping and then got everyone to come along. It seriously took 3 hours just to decide on fabric. I even asked customers what their favorite was between two fabrics. I know, I know, we are such girls...but you have to admit our skirts were by far cooler than anybody elses.<br />4. The drive up to Logan was super funny, Brooke and me exchanged "awkward moment stories."<br />5. Watching Hollie at the starting line was so intense!! AWW!<br />6. When Candace got lost, people in our van were pretty annoyed...I thought it a lil bit funny and when we saw a sign that pointed straight, someone said it was annoying to have those needless signs, I made a joke of it to lighten things up and said "hey it's a candace sign." I learned that it is so important to stick together as a team, no matter what. I learned that everybody makes mistakes. I learned sometimes the best way to get over something is just by laughing it off.<br />7. The exchange station before we raced was super fun! They forced me to eat the pasta before I ran...yuck...I had a stomache the whole rest of the time. I can't wait to see the crazy pics we took. Me and Meg got in one of those sick showers and pulled the curtain in front of us and made faces, pretending like we were in the shower. I loved waiting there with the guys in the second van. Petty talked to me and gave me a good quote, "Half of your race is the actual race, the other half is the preparation for it."<br />8. My first leg was super easy! It was just a 4 miler. I pulled off 7 minute miles.<br />9. I found so many things that I admired in each of my teammates..... Julianne; dedication and her competetivness, Katie; she said 'thank you' everytime we gave her water on her run or ran with her, she was so sweet Talya; she is a beast, she worked so hard, Meghan; she was so happy and optimistic, Brooke; she pulled off an amazing finish<br />10. Oh baby! I have never pulled an all-nighter. Well now I can say that I have.<br />11. I absolutely loved watching you come in with Jess. That really motivated me.<br />12. My second leg was good. There was one gradual hill that was pretty tough though. I loved running in the dark. Haha I listened to the same song about like 4 times cuz it really helped me.<br />13. There are so many inside jokes that I can't even explain.<br />14. We slept on the grass at the exchange before my last leg. That was heavenly! Then to make it even better, we finally found out where Weber was and that we were only seven minutes behind and still had a chance...contrary to our previous thoughts.<br />15. My last leg felt really good. I love running in rain!!! I pulled us up to 3 minutes behind Weber.<br />16. After my last leg, I felt good to be done. Then came my favorite part of the whole entire race! Noone wanted to get out and run with the others. Julianne was struggling on her last leg, so I ran a ton ton with her...I loved trying to push her. She was having trouble breathing. Then Katie started and I ran with her too. Julianne thought I was insane by then, but I loved pushing them and I knew I was done so it made it easier. So then I did alot with Katie and would jump in and out of the car, and then finished the last mile with her. Talya would not let me run with her, but I did a tiny bit. That is my favorite feeling to run beside them, because I know that drives me when someone pushes me and talks to me while we run.<br />17. Meg is so funny! Her faces were the best on her last leg. We would yell at her to catch up to the boy ahead and ask him for his number. Then estoque was just ahead of her also and it was hillarious to see how scared he was that Meg was gonna catch him and his head looking back every couple minutes.<br />188. Brooke pulled off a hard finish. We were all so disappointed that we did not quite catch Weber. I was pretty bummed. It is all about whether you put everything you had into the race though, and we did. There were no regrets. We fought hard and tried our best. I learned so so much! Running is important to me, and I am willing to sacrifice so much and this made me wanna be even more dedicated this summer. Thanks for all you do for us talley!<br />(Ya, I know it skips from 17 to 188...I just decided I will leave out the rest of this already huge novel.....if you even got this far haha)<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"><br />Meghan Hedquist - </span><br />Are we all just supposed to count it as 20 miles? My legs added up to 18.4 miles, but I didn't keep track of how far I ran other times because, during everyone's leg, a couple of us would get out and run with each other to help get through the tough parts. I don't know about everyone else in my van, but that helped me A TON when I had someone to run with up the steep hills. Even my mom got out and ran with me!! yay! Wasatch Back this year was so much different than last year, but I loved every minute!! It was <em>definitely</em> a lot harder than I remember, but maybe that's just because I switched from leg 6 to leg 11. During our last legs, we got within 3 minutes of Weber. It was Awesome to see the fear in their eyes!! Everyone knows that without JaNae and Stef, we would have won, and technically, they're on OUR team! Tell Stef good job! :) I had never seen the ragnar leg before, but when I saw it, I was very afraid for Katie and Talya. They ran it SO HARD and it made me want to cry to see their faces! When the van is having a hard time getting up the hill, it's hard to imagine how hard it is to run up! I was really amazed by how hard everyone worked in our van. Sometimes I just wanted to walk or be done, but it was always worth it after I finished. On my last leg, Talya's dad ran some of it with me, which helped a lot. Talk about downhill!!! HOLY COW! and I thought last year was bad.... :) And guess what!? Brandon Estoque was running that same downhill leg, but left quite a while before me, and I ALMOST caught him! Trying to catch him made it easier too because I could see him for most of it. So basically, I ran it faster than him.... ha ha!!! So anyway, I think that the fact that we ran so hard made it WAY more fun!! ( but I am seriously paying for it now. Standing up from sitting on the floor feels the worst, close second is walking down the stairs, third most painful is walking up stairs, and the next most painful is being awake :) )<br /><br />Umm... Besides just running, we did a lot of crazy stuff like: learning about chestlicks at the start of the race (don't worry, it doesn't involve licking your chest... it's some heart rate monitor thingy. After the lady told us about it, we all just kind of busted out laughing! hee hee!) taking more 'jumping pictures', going down slides and swinging on swings at a park, me and Caitlyn taking pictures in the makeshift showers <em>with our clothes on </em>of course! (they are basically a tent with a hose in it-- very scary, don't try it!!! especially when you're the guy who got in right after us and gave everyone a show when he forgot to zip up the other side of the door that we had unzipped to take our picture! Shield your eyes! AAAAHH!) cheering for Caleb in his wrestling singlet, my mom nearly jumping off a cliff to save Julianne's water bottle :), telling the person who was running random Nacho Libre lines, katie swallowing a bug during her race, saying weird things that people who are sleep deprived might say, making fun of 'butt lights' (it kinda sounds like we're saying budlight), sleeping on wet grass in our sleeping bags (apparently it rained, but of course I was asleep), some lady sticking her butt in my mom's face, Becky starting to drive away with only my foot in the car (she THOUGHT I was in, but the door started to close and, using my ninja reflexes, I BARELY got my arm out in time to avoid being snapped off like a twig!! my arm is still swollen and has a beautiful bruise on it, but hey it's a battle wound! I guess Becky must have been distracted by Caleb in his singlet) and singing songs with the windows down (a bug flew through the window and hit me in the face and fell onto my skirt. it was dead so it must have died on impact :) We also listened to Elmo's World on the radio at 3 AM... I didn't know Elmo's world was on the radio, but it was pretty hilarious! Oh yeah, and my mom was taking me to our van after my last leg and I guess our van had pulled out and moved because my mom tried to get in the wrong van. It was pouring rain, and my head hurt after finishing my leg so I couldn't really see, so I couldn't tell her not to get in, but the guy in the front seat said, "you can get in with us if you want to!" That's not even all of the stuff we did, but as you can see, we had <strong><u><span style="font-size:130%;">the party van</span></u></strong>!! :)<br /><br />Thanks for all the work you coaches do for the TEAM. So far, xc has been great! See ya tomorrow!!<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Jill Hedquist</span><br />I just wanted to say "Thanks" for letting me be "Becky's side-kick" in Van 2 for Wasatch Back. I will NEVER forget it! What an AMAZING experience. All of the girls were inspirational! It was fun to watch them passing TONS of people on each of their legs. Brooke and Caitlyn were a little nervous, being "first-timers", but they did GREAT! They both worked so hard! Caitlyn's third leg was amazing! She was determined to close the gap between us and the Weber Team. She did! She cut off 4 minutes! Caitlyn ran a TON with Katie on Pre-Ragnar, because we didn't want to get Talya, Meghan or Brooke tired for their upcoming runs. She was the energizer bunny! We kept saying just give them water, don't run with them, but she kept running with them. I got a little emotional on our last legs. . . also probably a little due to sleep deprivation! I didn't dare sleep for FEAR of missing the hand-off on our second exchange. (: (Plus there was TONS of car alarms going off and a really LOUD lady laughing all night. . . and NO it wasn't Becky!) Some of the emotion was due to the fact that the seniors are leaving, and this was their last run together ):. and some was due to the girls determination and guts! They were so tired, but there was no way they were going to give up! I LOVE those girls, and I am so grateful for the kind of friends they have been to Meghan and the good example they are to her. . . and to ME! They are amazing! I get sad every time I think about them being gone next year. We have gotten kind of attached to them! The whole TEAM is amazing. I wish I could have run with the girls in our van more! They were just WAY too fast for me. . . and I didn't want to slow them down! It was kind of cool to run a little, and I mean LITTLE, with Meghan in the night. I loved it. I tried to run a LITTLE with some of the others, or at least jump out and give them water. They amaze me. Julianne was way competitive, as usual (: and she ran her guts out! She cracks me up! A guy on her second leg came up to her after and told her what an amazing runner she was. I think she went flying past him. She wanted to pass that Weber girl on her third leg SO bad! She was really struggling with breathing in that hard rain and the cold, but she ran very determined the whole way. I was proud of her. We all were. The girls were so supportive of each other and they all really tried their very hardest! Poor Katie had to RUN to her exchange for Pre-Ragnar and she BARELY made it to go to the bathroom and RUN again to the exchange by the time Julianne got there. The traffic was so bad and we couldn't get the van to the exchange. Katie did SO well on all of her legs, but especially the really LONG one! Holy cow! 9.6 miles! She is an amazing runner. She is always so polite and sweet. We would ask her if she wanted water, and she would smile and say "no thank you." She did great on Pre-Ragnar too. She had a look of determination on her face the whole time. Talya did great on Ragnar, too. She was scared to death after Katie started, and she saw the hills. I told her not to worry about it and to walk as fast as she could when she couldn't run, and then run as fast as she could when she could run. Man that girl can walk FAST! I think Steve Petty gave her a great pep talk too. Her dad came up and wanted to run some of it with her. She came in without him. What a good sport he was. Talya's dad ran some of Meghan's leg with her and he was so positive, and kept giving her advice. She really appreciated it. When we were standing at the exchange in the rain, which we had to walk to because we couldn't get the van up there, I was telling her to try to focus on the people in front of her, instead of the hills, and try to pass them. A guy standing behind us said "just don't pass me!" I quickly told her to definitely pass him! It was funny to watch all the men, and especially teenage boys, that the girls passed. There was one on Meghan's last leg that kept passing her back, every time she would pass him. I don't think his ego could handle it. Watching the FEAR in Brandon Estoque's eyes was hilarious. Every time he saw our van coming up next to him, he would look behind to see where Meghan was. He ran in at the finish like he was running from a BULL! (: Brooke did awesome too. Her first uphill leg was really hard, but she ran it well. She was nervous after watching Meghan run up all those hills, and knowing she was next and that she had to run up similar hills. All the girls were very determined on their last legs, because we were so close to Weber. Brooke took off like a shot after her hand-off from Meghan. She ran a GREAT leg and finished so strong for us. It was fun to get to know her and Caitlyn! They probably think Becky and I are INSANE! It was fun to see Hollie running part of her first and second legs. We drove by her for a while after the exchange. She is always so positive and smiles all the time. We didn't see much of the other van. We saw the boys twice, and that was fun. We saw them at Liberty, and hung out for a while. Then we saw them at the second exchange when Curtis came flying up the hill! Then we happened to drive by Caleb! That was hilarious. He "posed" for a picture while running! We all got out of the van to cheer him on. (That is when Meghan had her near amputation experience! (:) We had lots of fun at the park. . . as you will see from the pictures! As soon as I get them off of my camera, I will get you a CD. (We are going to San Diego this week, so it will be when I get back.) We went to Pizza Hut after with Petty's van. Great experience! Great memories! Thanks again for letting me go. Can't wait until next year!!!!! Good job to JaNae, Stef and you Talley! You guys are amazing!<br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Brooke Stromberg - </span><br />The relay was way fun! My mom called me during it just after my second leg and asked me if I was having fun and to be honest I had to say "NO"<br /><br />My first leg was killer and I'm pretty sure that I'm not really meant to run uphill :) It was one of the hardest things I have ever run, and it's a good thing I didn't see it before I ran it or I don't know if I would have been able too. My second leg was hard just because I was so tired! Also I was having some internal problems and I had to stop for about a minute because I couldn't even stand up straight. Things rearranged themselves and I was able to finish strong on the downhill at the end 1 minute under pace. My last leg was GREAT!!! The slight downhill was perfect and I was able to cruise on to the end!<br /><br />Now that it's over I can realize that it was fun and I totally would do it again<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Logan Petty</span><br />This is easily my favorite race of all time, Brad Nye and I have been counting down the days since High Altitude Camp. It was a ton of fun! I have several highlights that come to mind, one of them is Jeff. Jeff is a very healthy person and is always very good about getting to bed and waking up on time. So this weekend was new for him. It was hilarious to watch him, because he was so out of it. Some of the things he said just cracked me up because they were things that he would never say normally. During our second leg at about 4 or 5 in the morning it really started to get to him. Rather than saying good job and cheering when we drove by our runners he would climb out the window and say things like "Joe, you look so hot right now!" It was just funny to watch him. Another highlight was my ragnar leg. From what I knew about it and had heard, it sounded like it was going to be some insane hill. And it was really tough, but looking back it was not nearly as bad as I had expected. I was so excited going into it. I love running in the rain and I was ready to beat Seth's time of 34:07 from last year. The van stopped to give me a water stop at what they said was 2.5 miles in. As I checked my watch I was several minutes behind pace and I was getting worried. When I saw the one mile to go sign i checked again and I realized I had almost nine minutes to finish which was good because I knew I had to run 8:30s, and I had a downhill portion coming up. At about 32 minutes in I was getting worried again because as I would crest one hill I still couldn't see the exchange zone and I was running out of time. But eventually I saw it and I had a strong finish. I was very excited by my time of 34:16, just nine seconds behind Gutz last year. I think I ran a smart leg, i stayed strong on the hills for the most part, and when I had the small sections of level ground, downhill, or just less steep sections I really took advantage of them and picked my pace up a little bit. Another part that sticks out to me is after we finished and we were in the tent with you. Hollie said something like "It's weird to think we just ran the same races as you.... and you're really fast!" (To you) "We're so tough!" I was happy that she realized that, and pointed it out to everyone else. Granted you ran a heck of a lot faster than we did, but I don't think some of the TEAM realizes how hard they work. Sometimes it is hard to appreciate how hard we work and what we accomplish. Because at the time it doesn't always seem like a very big deal. But I think we need to look at it sometimes just to realize how good we've done, and what we are capable of. I am way excited for this Cross Country season! American Fork is going to have a killer team, but I think we can give them a run for their money at the very least. It should be exciting to see what happens. I found out that we only compete with them once before State though, and that is at Grass Relays. That could hurt us or help us depending on what happens... but the only thing we can do I suppose is be as ready as we can, and run our hardest so we can be proud of how we did no matter what. Thanks for everything you do as a coach. I think I speak for the whole TEAM when I say that we would not be as good without you. And we wouldn't have near as much fun! I have learned a lot from being on this TEAM and it is one of the best decisions I have made. I owe you a lot.<br />I just remembered some other highlights from the race. One of them was definately watch Jeff's first leg. We were neck and neck with the all-star team when we got the baton. Jacob Barton was running this leg and their team thought he was going to create a huge gap between him and Jeff. But Jeff managed to stay right with him the entire leg. Another was mine, Joe and Brad's first leg. After Jeff passed me the baton the all-star team didn't show up in time for the hand off. So I was running alone, a van thought I was their runner but when I passed them they noticed I wasn't and one of them yelled S*** he's going fast! After that I handed off to Joe, the all-star team managed to catch him going up his hill, and put about a half mile between us. Then Brad got the baton and began to close the gap, he caught the all-star team just before handing off to Leland. One more was my second leg. We were surprised your team hadn't passed us yet, with about a half a mile to go I heard someone coming up behind me fast, I knew it had to be either your team or the all-star team. I didn't want to let either team pass me, so I picked it up and managed to run away from him. Afterwards I found out it was your Weber State team. Along with that my last highlight is that not one runner passed me the entire race.<br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Michael King</span><br />Wasatch Back was so much fun. I am so happy that i got to do it, it has been the highlight of my summer so far. I had been looking forward to it ever since last year. I really liked my first leg, it was about 3.4 miles and the all star team was about a minute ahead of us at that time. I wanted to catch the kid so bad. I kept trying to time and see how far he was ahead by looking at a point and then timing to see how far he was ahead of me. I kept trimming it down little by little and i finally passed him with about a half mile to go. I was so happy that i caught him, I even threw up some of my pasta dinner. I ran 4 and 1/2 minutes faster than pace. After that it was so awesome to cheer every else on. It was cool to be in the second van this time because i was in the 1st van last time. My second leg was even better than my first. It was 7.0 miles downhill and so i thought i could trim down some time. It felt so good to be running in the middle of the night. (i think we should do some this summer :) ) I made a promise that i wouldn't let anyone pass me, I was probably a little more than halfway and someone passed me. I was a little mad until i realized that he was from 26.2 running company, so i wasn't that mad. I felt so good and i guess i was because i ran 40.19 9 minutes under pace. i was so happy after that leg. I couldn't believe that i had done that. It was fun to see everyone else run, especially jeff because he had a 9.6 mile leg. He did so good and it was good to see him run under pace for that long of a leg. After a little sleep and the school, we got up and got ready for my 3rd leg. my legs weren't feeling that great from my downhill leg, but i made a promise that i wouldn't go over pace. about a mile into the race, my hamstring was just throbbing. Every step it felt like it was pulling and stretching. Every step was in pain, but i knew i had to keep up the pace or i would get behind. With about a mile to go i just gave it all i could. I knew that i wouldn't be able to cut off as much time as i did on the other ones but i knew i could make up some if i ran hard. When i got done i looked at my watch and i was disappointed at myself that i wasn't under time. I was upset at myself until logan told me that i was about 30 seconds under pace. I was so happy after that. It was awesome to see jeff run preragnar. He kept going no matter what. My favorite leg to watch was definately logan running ragnar. He wanted so bad to beat gutz's time from last year. He was hauling the whole time. It was pouring rain, and there was a head wind the whole time. He crossed the line and was so happy. he was only 9 seconds behind gutz's time. It was awesome to see him so happy, after putting in so much hard work. After that it was really cool. Joe, who hadn't felt that good on his second leg, killed his 3rd leg time by 8 minutes. After giving brad the baton, we drove to the finish line, we got on our gold capes and ran to meet brad. we gave him a cape and he hauled into the finish line. Me and logan wanted so badly to go under 20 hours this year but then we realized that they had added about 8 miles onto the race. But after we knew that at the start, we were just trying to get about what last years time was. We knew we would have to step it up. when we came through at 20:32 we were so happy. Our goal early in the race was to beat the all star team. they kept getting ahead of us, and then we would take the lead. I was way happy when i found our we won by over 30 minutes. I loved the opportunity to do this. It is always so fun, and it was fun to get to know the people in my car even better. (jeff is SO funny when he doesn't get sleep) I hope that i get the opportunity to do it again. Thanks for the opportunity to do this. I am so lucky to have a coach like you. Thanks for all you do talley.<br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Brian Alfaro</span><br />Thank you talley for giving me the chance to run the wasatch back it was really fun. i also am having trouble moving around i am dang sore. I had a good run my first though wasnt to great the second leg i felt great and was hauling all i was thinking about was catching the team that was thinking they were better than us the only cool guy they had was coby taylor the rest i wanted to whoop them... and we did. My third leg i did really good it was tough but very satisfying; i gapped coby by 2 minutes thanks to leland and gallacher we already had a good gap on them then curtis and caleb and jason gapped them some more. leland was finaly happy he redeemed himself of the tiny little sophmore girl who thought she was all that. but the whole thing was really cool seth pretty cool dude drove well and got really into it at times it seemed like he was just going to jump in and run the race.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Lisa Brown</span><br /><span style=";font-family:Cambria;font-size:100%;" >What $120 Bucks get you at The Wasatch Back Relay</span><br />1. <span style=";font-family:Cambria;font-size:100%;" >Extra safety pins and deodorant at the start line.

It consists of 180 miles along the back of the Wasatch Mountains from Logan to Park City, including 5 challenging climbs over mountain passes. Each of the four years I have run the race with the Weber State team have left me physically and mentally exhausted because of the difficult running legs and because of the prolonged competitiveness without rest. Normally the high school division begins at Snow Basin—a third of the way into the race. We have had some pretty good success in our first 2 years. In 2006 we had 11 boys on the team and then Candace and Natalie ran together as our 12th person. We won the high school division that year. Our boys won again in 2007, and the girls also put a team together which won the all-female high school division. In both of these first 2 years the objective was just to have fun. The kids ran hard, but mostly used it as a time to build team unity. <br />When I found out that to compete in this year’s high school division the team would have to run all 36 legs instead of just the 24 as in the past, I was thinking it would not be the best idea—I thought maybe it would be too much for us. I was worried, but the team seemed really excited to do it, so I reluctantly entered a team of boys and a team of girls—all the time thinking it might be a mistake. I figured if they didn’t run too hard and took good care of themselves in between legs, they would be okay. I kept thinking of the condition I was in as I climbed the Ragnar leg last year—I didn’t want to see any of my athletes feeling that dead at this point in their training. One of my strategies was to put the graduates on some of the tougher legs so that I would not kill off any of the athletes we have coming back. I figured we could beat the graduates up quite a bit and they have a long time to recover – (I give them permission to take their entire life).<br />I should not have doubted our team. The 24 hours of race this year taught me a lot about the character and toughness of our boys and girls.<br />The race is set up with each team having 2 vans of 6 runners in each van. There are 36 legs ranging from 3 to 8.5 miles. The runners go in order 1-12, each running 3 legs. This year there were about 560 teams entered in the race. Our girls team included (in order): Van 1 (driven by Becky Kussee): Emily, Katie, Talya, Jessie, Julianne, and Meghan; Van 2 (driven by me): Ally, Loren, Kelsey, Natalie, Hollie, and Carlee; with an injured Candace as our supporter on a bike. The boys team was made up of: Van 1 (driven by the famous Jace Nye): Carston, Brad, Logan, Mike, Bryce, and Leland; Van 2 (driven by Kye Kunz): Curtis, Spencer, Jason, Seth, Ryan, and Caleb. The boys’ team was set up to run 7:00 pace (21 hours) and the girls were going for 8:00 mile pace (24 hours).<br />We met at the school and decorated the vehicles – mostly just some window paint. The girls had created some pretty cool fuzzy, purple skirts which they made all by themselves – they would end up being their trademark throughout the race. They also made me a sweet cape made out of the same material. Some of the boys had picked up American Flag or camouflage boxer shorts to race in. Everyone had a lot of energy and excitement. We started to Logan a little late and hit some traffic along the way, so we got there just in time to pick up the race packets and get Emily to the starting line. It was hot—at least 95 degrees. Because of the staggered start times, slower teams had been running all day long, so it was nice to be missing a lot of the heat by starting at 3 pm.<br />We left the boys at the park in Logan they were going to start one hour after the girls. I could tell the boys were ready for a party, and maybe ready to run pretty fast, but mostly to party. I didn’t get to follow the boys’ progress as much because I was driving the 2nd girls van. We did see the 2nd boys van at 2 of the major exchanges for a while, and Jace and Spencer gave me some good updates along the way.<br />The girls started at the same time as the other two favorites in the all-female team competition: the Weber State Alumni team, and the Curves with a Kick team (last year’s champions). I figured the Weber women were the team to beat. Janae and the girls had been talking trash all week long at practice. Before the week of the race I didn’t think they would have a chance, but then they revealed their ‘Secret Weapon’—Morgan Haws. Morgan, Natalie’s older sister, was fresh off of her All-American 10,000m performance at the NCAA meet. As a former Dart, we felt like Morgan was a bit of a traitor. Adding her really strengthened the Weber team.<br />Emily started us off strong. When I saw her about 3 miles into the 5.1 mile run, I could see that the heat was getting to her, but she kept a good pace and came in pretty close to the other 2 female teams. Both of the other teams started with one of their stronger runners: Heidi Bowhuis for Weber and Jessie Winters for Curves (who was also a former Weber State runner). It was on this first leg that we started playing We Will Rock You as loud as we could out the window whenever we passed the Weber runners or the Weber van. Em ran well under 7:30 pace and finished about 2:30 behind the other runners, but Katie quickly made up the gap on her long, hot 6.7 mile leg. It wasn’t long before she caught the Weber runner—who began to struggle with some heat exhaustion. Katie loves the heat, the hotter the better. She powered past the Curves runner and put our team in the lead by the exchange. The Weber runner came in about 7 minutes behind Katie, and I figured we were pretty safe; I should have remembered how long the race was. That was the last we saw of Van 1; we had to drive around the mountains while van 1 was going over Avon Pass.<br />The girls in Van 1 kept flying through all of there legs. Talya and Jessie ran through the flat, hot, long roads of Hyrum and Paradise and I heard we were ahead by over 10 minutes. That gave Julianne a good lead over Morgan. Julianne climbed 7.4 miles and over 1,200 feet up Avon pass. I heard she loved it and felt great. Then Meghan got to run 6.9 miles and 1,400 feet down the other side. I heard she didn’t love it and didn’t feel too great. I started to worry about Meghan. That much downhill can be pretty hard on the legs and she still had 2 more fairly tough runs to go.<br />While they were running, we had a great time driving around to Ogden Valley. I had always heard how funny Carlee is, and I was finally getting to hear some of the funny things she says. We were talking about how to pronounce ‘Mantua’, and Carlee says, “Why is ‘Kanab’, ‘K-nab’, not ‘Nab’ like how ‘knife’ is ‘nife’ not ‘k-nife’?” Not too much further down the road we were talking about the Oprah Christmas episode (I have no clue why) and she says if she were on that episode, “I’d kill myself . . . out of joy.” Then we were talking about her Homecoming date and how she didn’t really know the kid and couldn’t even remember his last name and never really talked to him before and never really talked to him since, but how her mom said he was in her 4th grade class and should she should have known him. Anyway, I guess you have to spend time around Carlee to realize how hilarious she really is.<br />We met the boys 2nd van and picked up Candace and Caleb in North Ogden at the Maverick. Candace had been hurt, so she wasn’t running, but she was going to bike quite a bit with the girls. After finally getting Spencer out of the big cooler where the ice is stored, we were on our way over North Ogden Pass to Liberty where the 2nd van would begin. The updates from the boys’ first van were good. Carston started off strong, and Brad Nye, the freshman, had run well on the long, hot 6.7 mile leg. (Although Katie’s time barely beat Brad’s, he is showing a lot of promise).<br />Waiting at the park in Liberty was fun. There was some free pasta (although not as much as we were expecting – just a really long line for these tiny little plates), and there was some free smoothies. The entire team kept switching back and forth between the lines – saving spots and then hording pasta and smoothies. One guy called them ‘cherry pickers’ but I called it teamwork (that’s good coaching). I think everyone got 2 or 3 free smoothies. The weird old guy handing out them out wasn’t fooled at all – he kept saying “Coming back for more? You can’t sneak past me. I recognize you.” But then he would still give them more smoothies. The girls also found a fun, tall, swirly slide to go down and to take some pictures on (although it gave them slide burns), and the boys had a lot of fun on the swings – sometimes 2 boys to a swing. I think we were the most excited team at the park—definitely the weirdest and most childlike team at the park. This is also where we met the women from the 2nd van from Weber State alumni team. I introduced the girls to the Weber team, and the Weber team already started making excuses and justifications about how they were ‘old’ and out of shape. They had a combined 16 children among them (Summer had just had her 4th baby 9 weeks before), and they were all acting like they were ‘has-beens’. It definitely got me thinking how it wasn’t going to be as much of a challenge as I thought it would be. I should have known better—together they had quite a few all-conference and all-Americans in their day. I left the park thinking we probably wouldn’t see them the rest of the relay.<br />Meghan was staggering back and forth across the street as she finished her leg. I couldn’t tell if she was just exhausted or confused about where she was supposed to make the exchange. The weather was finally starting to cool as Ally started off the 2nd van. We didn’t have much time to talk to the girls from the first van, but it sounded like they rocked it. They were about 9 minutes ahead of Weber and 1 minute ahead of the Curves team. I was kind of surprised that the Curves team was so close. In fact, the woman running against Ally was really strong. Although Ally ran a great 4 mile leg, right at 7:30 pace, the Curves lady passed her and built a 1:00 lead. We would have been closer, but we had to scramble to find a head lamp and reflective vest for Loren, and then Loren got to the exchange without her race number on and they wouldn’t let her go without it. She speedily swapped purple skirts with Hollie and took off (it was quick thinking on Hollie’s part). Loren ran solid through her 3.4 mile leg and past the Curves team. Then Kelsey stretched the lead out and that was about the last we saw or heard of the Curves team. We were starting to get a lot of comments about the purple skirts, and as we flew by other teams they were starting to notice how tough our girls were (people kept asking me if I was the lucky coach). It was fun to stop along the routes a few times each leg to cheer the girls on and to give them water. They all looked really strong, and Candace was a good support for each of them on the bike. Natalie busted through her 3.5 mile leg in 6:10 pace, and I figured we were well on our way to the win (I’ve got to learn not to get so arrogant so early in that relay).<br />By the time Natalie finished it was dark, and I had decided to run up Old Snow Basin road with Hollie and Carlee (according to the rules I could only pace once the sun went down). Hollie’s leg was 3.8 miles with about 900 feet of elevation gain. She looked really strong up the mountain and we talked the whole way up. I don’t know how Hollie does that. She can be running really hard, but still tell a story with ease—it’s pretty impressive. Right at the end of Hollie’s leg we hear this van approaching behind us with the music blasting and someone yelling at us out the window. It was the boys 2nd van. I was surprised to see them so early, but it was a good sign for them. They said Ryan was still a ways behind Hollie, but they were coming. Carlee continued the climb up the road. Her leg was 3.1 miles and gained 830 feet in elevation. There were some pretty tough uphills, or as Carlee would say, “there were some real crankers.” (She later claimed that she felt stupid for using the word ‘crankers’). She ran really strong, but was disappointed in her time. I thought it was impressive for the beast of a hill she had climbed and I knew she had given a great effort by how hard she was breathing, but Carlee wanted better. The boys van passed us again near the end of Carlee’s run. Caleb was running hard up the same leg, but he didn’t catch Carlee.<br />We got to the Snow Basin exchange, and I continued to run down Trapper’s Loop with Emily. Van 2 was going to meet me down at the next exchange. This was one of the legs that I was most worried about—it didn’t help that Emily had run her 1st leg during the hottest part of the day. Em’s leg was the longest of the relay – 8.5 miles with 2100 feet of elevation drop. It also had a considerable (700 foot) elevation gain to begin with, plus the entire run would be in the dark. I know Emily is tough, but I was really worried about this one. She started off really strong. She said how much better she felt compared to earlier when it was so hot. Emily’s parents had driven up and were following us down the road, giving plenty of encouragement (I think her mom was much more worried than I was). We found a nice fast rhythm and just cruised down the mountain, enjoying the cool night air. Out of no where a runner came up behind us. At first we thought it was Carston, but it wasn’t. It was Heidi from the Weber team. I honestly thought they must have driven their runners up Old Snow Basin Road. It surprised the heck out of me. Just when I thought we were creaming them, Heidi goes flying by us (she actually wasn’t running that much faster than Emily, I think she just wanted to make a statement as she went by). I asked Heidi how much she started behind us and she yelled back ‘about a minute’. So after everyone had run one time, we held only a minute lead on the Weber team (amounting to about 1 second per mile at that point). It was going to be a much closer race than I thought. The ‘old’, ‘out of shape’ mothers of 16 had gained 8 minutes on our team. Emily stayed pretty close to Heidi over the long leg and averaged under 7:00 pace. She was pretty tired by the end, but I thought she handled it really well. Emily was a little disappointed that Carston caught her during the run. It was close to the end of the leg. I guess Carston wasn’t ready when Caleb got to Snow Basin, so the boys lost a minute or two and Caleb really freaked out. Imagine that, Caleb freaking out. I bet it was pretty funny. I was kind of glad to hear that the boys were being so competitive. They were well under 7 minute mile pace after each of them had run once.<br />I met van 2 at the gas station at the bottom of Trapper’s Loop. After about 16 miles of running I needed some calories (especially if I was going to drive all night). The girls didn’t understand how I could finish a long run like that and then down a Coke, a bag of chips, and a king-size Reeses Fast Break right afterward. I guess I am pretty talented like that. The girls were kind of hungry and were craving (of all things) peanut butter. I found some in the gas station and surprised them with it. It is funny how something so simple can produce so much gratitude – I like that about this team. Plus they were really excited that I found the peanut butter in the ‘cute, little jar’.<br />Van 1 continued on the course. There 2nd legs were all a little easier than their first ones, and a lot cooler. They seemed to be in good spirits, and were recovered alright other than Julianne’s stomach ache. I was pretty worried about Meghan being able to come back from the tough downhill leg. I think Becky was enjoying herself as the driver, but I am sure she realized how crazy this whole thing was by this point.<br />I drove van 2 on to the next big exchange–the halfway point at East Canyon Reservoir—hopefully to get a little rest. The girls still had tons of energy – except for Natalie who fell asleep in the front passenger seat. We passed maybe 200 teams while we were driving up to East Canyon and I knew we would be running past teams like crazy the rest of the relay. <br />When we got to East Canyon we quickly found some grass to put our sleeping bags down on. We had a little less than 2 hours before van 1 got there. Everyone got out of the van except Natalie. She is in her own unconscious world once she gets sleepy. This is not the first occasion where we couldn’t get her to wake up enough to move. We laid her seat back, put a pillow under her head, and put a blanket on her. I think she thought we were trying to sabotage her sleep (just because we can usually get funny reactions by messing with her when she is this tired), but she settled back into her deep sleep.<br />We fell asleep, but not for very long. It seemed like no time at all before I got a call from Becky saying that Meghan had about 2 miles left. I knew the last 2 miles of that leg were uphill, and I knew Meghan had to be pretty tired from her previous leg, so I figured we had at least 16 minutes until they were there and I let the girls sleep a little longer. That was a mistake. We casually got things ready to go and I was walking with Ally up to the exchange when we ran into Janae and she was like, “Meghan’s been up there for like 3 or 4 minutes.” I thought Janae was just messing with us, trying to be funny, but she wasn’t. We got up to the exchange and Meghan had been there for at least 4 minutes. Ally found her and grabbed the slap bracelet and took off into the night. The Weber girls took off about 10 seconds behind Ally. In the previous 12 runners, Weber had beat us by about 9 minutes. The delay at the exchange zone was totally my fault. It is always at this point in the relay where I have a hard time moving with a lot of motivation (it was like 2:18 in the morning), and I was a little too laid back in getting Ally up to the exchange. The good news was that Meghan felt amazing on her leg and she was in a great mood when she finished. I think every year the runners on my team who have finished that leg have been ready to die – but not Meghan, she had a lot of energy. I think Julianne was pretty upset at us for losing time at the exchange; I could tell she was getting competitive.<br />We didn’t see the boys at East Canyon – they were sleeping somewhere when we got there. It could have been right next to us for all we knew. They were gone by the time we got up to run. The only update I got from them was that Spencer’s hip flexor had been bothering him, which worried me a little because he had a 7 mile leg coming up. I guess I wasn’t too worried though – he was one of the graduates that I didn’t mind beating up a little bit. He’ll have 2 years on a mission to recover. <br />Ally ran off into the night racing against Sharlynn from Weber – a 3 time All-American, while we got into the van and tried to find some energy. The energy came from Gettin’ Jiggy With It by Will Smith. The only time anyone will ever catch me dancing like that is at 2:30am. That’s all I am going to say about that.<br />After Ally, Loren’s leg was 7 steady downhill miles. She took off about 4 minutes behind the Weber runner – their captain Stephanie Chambers (who writes for the Standard Examiner). Stephanie’s husband was pacing her on a bike. I had decided to hop out and run with Loren while Natalie drove. Luckily Natalie seemed to have regained consciousness – I still don’t know if I should have trusted her to drive that late at night. I didn’t want Loren to get lost, even though it was one long, straight shot. It was dark and in the middle of no where, and Lor is not that good at directions. We started running at a pretty quick pace. Plus the darkness made it feel like we were going even faster. We were flying by tons of other teams. I wouldn’t tell Loren how long we had been running until late in the run, and I was trying to distract her to keep her at a fast pace, so I was telling her a bunch of stories from my childhood and talking to her about college running. I kept asking her if she was okay and if we needed to slow down. She would decide to slow the pace just a little, then I would start telling her another story and we would start passing people and soon enough we would be running as fast as before. I told Loren to just run, not to think – she said that should be easy for her.<br />After we passed the 1 mile to go sign we could see Stephanie and her husband (on the bike) pass under a street light way ahead of us. We were still about 45 seconds behind her, but Loren started running even faster. I didn’t think she would catch them, but with about 200 meters to go Loren started sprinting and she passed Stephanie right at the exchange zone. She also elbowed her and cut her off in the process. Stephanie later used that as motivation to try and beat Loren on their final legs.<br />I felt pretty good (probably because of the Coke, chips, and Fastbreak from earlier) so I decided to keep going with Kelsey on her 6.2 mile run. Kelsey was running against Summer from Weber (who had had a baby 9 weeks before). Her husband was also biking next to her. Summer immediately got a 10 meter lead on Kelsey, but the lead stayed right at 10 meters for 3 or 4 miles. They were running the exact same pace for the longest time. Telling stories to Kelsey seemed to distract her as well, and the pace was pretty fast. We finally caught Summer and ran with her for a while. They were both working hard and breathing heavy. I told Summer about the 100 mile race I ran and I think it wore her down. We started to pull away over the last mile. It was a strong run by Kelsey, and both of them would have to run their hardest leg in the morning (Pre-Ragnar).<br />I was done with my running after that (and craving a Coke). The race with Weber was getting more and more intense. Natalie ran another strong leg against Janae (while her husband Ken was riding beside her), but the next 2 Weber runners were really strong and even though Hollie and Carlee ran well, we exchanged about 4 minutes behind them at exchange 25. Everyone had 1 leg to run. When Carlee finished her run, we told her she had done great and had averaged 8:03 pace (even though she really ran 7:40s). She was a little disappointed that she had run slower than 8:00 pace. We let her think that for about 5 minutes, and then told her what she really ran. All Carlee could say was a tired “Woohoo.” Even though she wasn’t too enthusiastic, she was genuinely happy, and we were all proud of her.<br /> Emily started running her final leg. She ran over 19 miles for the relay (the most by about 4 miles). I figured van 1 must be pretty tired, but they seemed to show some energy. They were all still wearing their purple skirts, and they were definitely passing a lot of other teams. The girls in Van 2 quickly fell asleep while I drove ahead to Heber. It was just getting light again. While driving through part of the 2nd leg for that van we drove past Brad Nye on the boys’ team. They were probably about 30 or 40 minutes in front of the girls at this point. While I was driving in silence, I figured that although we had stayed close to the Weber girls to this point, they were probably going to beat us. They have a lot more experience and a lot more years of running and their 3rd legs would probably be their strength and our inexperience or youth might hurt us. Besides, the girls had run so hard on their first 2 legs, that I figured it might be tough to come back from the lead Weber had built.<br /> Once we got to Heber Middle School we found the boys team and they all put their sleeping bags out on the grass and fell asleep while I went inside for breakfast and a shower. It felt great. At least 5 people that I talked to inside had seen our boys or girls teams, and they were amazed with how well each team was doing. I felt like such a proud coach. I love when these kids run so awesome and make me look good, and I don’t really have to do anything except take credit act like it is because of me. I told at least 10 more people who I talked to that our teams were running great and probably going to kill their teams. I came back out and lay down in my sleeping bag, but couldn’t get any sleep because I knew Caleb and Spencer were plotting to do something to me when I fell asleep. I never get good rest on things like this (high altitude camp, bus trips, etc) because I am always paranoid that these boys are going to try to pull some kind of prank. It is not just paranoia, it is usually the truth. <br /> All the boys seemed to be feeling okay. The reports they were getting from Jace in van 1 were all positive. Everyone was running fast. It sounded like Leland and Carston were the studs of the first van. Van 2 was also in good shape. Spencer was hurting pretty bad, but knew that he could finish his leg – he’s tough. Jason had run well so far, and wasn’t too worried about his asthma going into pre-Ragnar (but I was). Seth was excited to run Ragnar (it ended up that he was the fastest high schooler on Ragnar, and the 5th fastest overall – I heard he was amazing to watch and really pumped up by his teammates). Ryan was in a good mood; he probably didn’t realize how difficult the steep downhill of his last run would be on his legs. Caleb was still being a goof – which was a good sign because it showed he had some energy left. He wasn’t worried about his last run, he was just worried about who was the biggest flirt on the boys team. He thought it was Seth or Ryan; I assured him that he was because Jordan wasn’t with us.<br />Although Curtis is a senior, this was his first race with us, and I could tell he was nervous. Everyone else was lying down or joking around, but Curtis was already moving around, ready to run. He was the first leg in van 2, and even though he had at least a half an hour before van 1 arrived and it had been a long night, he was ready to go again. He is going to be a good addition to the team.<br /> The boys’ first van got to Heber and the second van left. They took Candace with them because she had to get back for her sister’s wedding. That was the last we would see of the boys. They were running well under 7 minute pace at that point.<br /> I thought I would get some sleep. We had about 1 hour before the girls’ first van arrived. All the van 2 girls were mostly settled down, and I was just about asleep when I get this phone call from Julianne. She was all fired up. She says, “Make sure the girls are ready to go when we get there!” I was like, “Okay. Whatever. We will be ready (now let me sleep, Julianne).” But she was like, “I am serious! You better not miss the exchange again. We are all running fast! And we are going to beat Weber!” I was just thinking, Stop yelling at me, Julianne. But she kept going on about how they were all revived and had tons of energy and were taking it to the Weber team! She wouldn’t shut up. “Katie and Talya built up a lead, then I nearly held off a charge by Morgan, (the ‘Secret Weapon’) and now Jessie is running awesome and going to catch the Weber girl. And Meghan is going to rock on her last leg, so you better be ready this time!” I was glad Julianne was so enthusiastic, but I was also trying to get a little rest. Looking back on it, that kind of competitiveness and excitement is what is going to help us this fall.<br /> I got a little sleep (it felt like 10 minutes), then I was up and making sure that Ally was ready in plenty of time (thanks to Julianne). I went over to the exchange with her while the other girls got things ready and loaded into the van. It was about 10am and it was starting to get hot again. The Weber team was at the exchange, so I took the opportunity to talk some trash. (I think they knew I was kidding). I asked them if they had heard about the penalty their first van got for pacing and that they would have to beat us by 5 minutes to ‘officially’ win. They didn’t think that was funny. I told Stephanie she did a great job the night before (when Loren caught and passed her at the finish line) and she was like, “Yeah, what was that? She didn’t have to run me over.” But I just said she better watch out for Loren on her final leg because there is a lot more where that came from.<br /> Meghan came in looking strong (especially for so late in the race), and Ally took off (a little scared of Sharlynn after their 2nd legs). I am sure Julianne was pleased that we were ready to go on time. The girls from the first van were super excited and I wish we could have stayed around to hear about their awesome final legs. I only had time to hang around and see what our lead was. It surprised me that we were up by 2:30, but I also remembered that they beat us by 8 minutes on the first legs. The girls were all excited that we had such a lead, and we started blasting We will Rock You each time we saw the Weber girls again. I am sure they were sick of that song. Ally came through with her best leg of the relay. She looked great and didn’t lose much of the lead. She was even getting a little emotional that this was her last race with the Davis team.<br />By the time she handed off to Loren it was getting really hot. We were stopping every few minutes to give them water to drink and to dump on themselves. I had tried to prepare Loren a little for this final leg because I knew how tough it has been in the past for the runners on my teams. It is a 6.3 mile run, slightly uphill, in the heat, with long straight stretches of road, and all of this after already racing about 11 miles and getting very little sleep. None of this seemed to faze Loren and she ran one of the most inspirational legs of the relay. She was smiling the entire time. I thought maybe she was a little loopy from lack of sleep, but she was actually loving it, and she was flying. She even passed the Weber team van and looked over at them and sang out “We will, we will, Rock You!” It was unbelievable. All of the other girls fed off of her energy, and Hollie kept saying how excited she was to run. I couldn’t understand how they were being so positive at the point where every year I am exhausted and wondering why I am putting my body through this.<br /> Loren extended the lead so much that we didn’t have time to wait around and see how much it was. Kelsey’s last leg is one of the toughest in the entire relay. The first ½ mile is slightly uphill, but then there is a 3 mile stretch of relentless, unforgiving, steep uphill. I remember running it the second year of the relay and it killed me. I felt like I was working extra hard and getting no where. Kelsey looked great through the first half of the run, but then the heat and the hill began taking its effect. I could tell she was doing everything she could do, and it was really challenging her physically and mentally. We kept encouraging her and giving her water. One of the times when she was by the van she looked at me, fighting back tears and asked “Can I walk a little?” I told her “Of course”. I had walked on the same leg a few years before, and Candace had walked on the same leg last year. Kelsey was so committed to doing her best for the team. I was so proud of her and her effort – watching her made me want to cry because I knew she was pushing herself so hard for her friends and for her coach. She would walk a little, then run, then be forced to walk because of the steepness of the hill, but she kept moving. Loren got out and went a little while with Kelsey. I didn’t know where Loren was getting her energy from. Kelsey finally made it to the finish of her leg, exhausted, but she definitely should have been satisfied that she gave a full effort. The Weber team was no where in sight. I think Kelsey had really pushed Summer on the previous leg and I am sure Summer was struggling as well.<br /> Natalie’s final leg was Ragnar – the last 4 miles up the mountain. A 1700 foot gain in elevation over 4 miles. She ran it last year and was the fastest female on the only leg where they time every team in the race. Watching Natalie was incredible. She looked so strong. She was passing people left and right. Not just ‘joggers’ but the best runners on most of the teams. Some of them were grown men who looked like they were in good shape. Hollie kept taking pictures of the men that Natalie was cruising because we were trying to capture their reactions. I can just imagine what they must have been thinking as this high school girl flew by them making it look so easy. Natalie kept smiling at us and dancing to the music we were playing for her. She finished in just over 38:00. Good enough for the fastest female award by over 4 minutes. The second fastest female was Janae – representing the Weber team, but also part of our team. They both ran extremely well. (We later found out that Janae ran it in her 2nd month of pregnancy). Natalie’s time was the 18th fastest out of all 540 runners.<br /> Once again, we didn’t wait around until the Weber team got there but we were hoping that we had built at least an 8 minute lead because we knew their final 2 runners were tough. Hollie’s leg had a little bit of uphill at the start, but then a whole ton of downhill. In 6.9 miles it rises over 200 feet and drops almost 2,000. Hollie was the right choice for this leg. She looked great going down the hills. She had a good rhythm and wasn’t leaning back putting the breaks on. Once again, she past a lot of teams and finished strong. I am sure her legs felt like jell-o as she finished, but she was too excited to care. Carlee started onto the final leg of the relay and we waited around to see what kind of lead we had. We were going to go and tell Carlee so that hopefully she knew she could relax and just run to the finish. We waited for 8 minutes and the Weber girls finally came in.<br /> The final leg is only 5 miles long, but it was right at the hottest part of the day. Most of it is run on a paved trail that goes through Park City and then goes west out of town to the finish area. We tried to find Carlee to get her some water and let her know that she had a good lead, but from the road we couldn’t see where she was on the trail. We couldn’t find her so we decided to go on to the finish. It was easily 90 degrees. I was really hoping that they had placed water out on the path for the final runners to drink. They hadn’t. I didn’t get all of Carlee’s story, but I am sure you could ask her about it and she would have a funny way of relating it. All I gathered was that she was getting extremely thirsty and actually fell down at one point. I am glad she didn’t pass out. I guess it took her quite a while to get up, and when she did she probably felt like she was going to die (not out of joy). Somehow she survived (despite thinking she wouldn’t make it), and the rest of the team was all waiting to run the last half mile with her in their purple skirts.<br /> They were all smiles as they finished the race together. It makes me wonder what makes someone so extremely happy at the end of something so incredibly exhausting (like a 23 hour relay). It is the same feeling I look for every time I finish a marathon. I think the best word for it is satisfaction. Satisfaction that you have pushed yourself and accomplished something great. But with the relay, it is much more than just personal satisfaction – it is knowing that you have worked hard for yourself and for your friends to achieve something great together. Once again, I was a proud coach, looking good and sitting back watching them talk about their great experiences. They were most excited that I told them we would have an easy week the next week and that they wouldn’t have to run to far at the vita course on Monday.<br /> The Weber women finished about 3:30 later. They really gave us a fight. I like how competitive they all still are even though some of them are quite a few years past their competitive careers. We averaged about 1 second per mile faster than they did. It was truly one of the most memorable team races in the history of the relay. I am so glad that it worked out that way – not the winning – just the experience. Our girls had to work hard to earn the victory. (I guess the winning was fun too). Everyone I have talked to on the Weber team has had nothing but compliments for our girls, but they were all sick of me and my trash-talking. They were impressed with the character, the teamwork, and the energy that the girls showed. I think they also liked our purple skirts.<br /> The boys went on to finish in 20 hours and 29 minutes – an average of about 6:50 per mile. It was good enough for 7th place overall and 1st place out of all high school teams. The girls finished in 23 hours and 14 minutes – an average of about 7:45 per mile. Overall, they were the 22nd fastest team, and the fastest all female team in the competition. I just had to drive a little, run a little, talk a little trash, enjoy my Coke and candy bar, and look good as their coach.Talleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11023963577849733136noreply@blogger.com0
