发帖数: 13580 | 1 Leg 5: the struggle
I tried to do a little striding every time I got out of the van. I was
totally pumped up when it was my turn to start leg 5. However, right before
I was going to start, a volunteer stopped me and told me I need two flash
lights and another headlight. That totally confused me, since I read from
the manual that I need two lights in total and that was what they told us at
the start line as well. We had to move a flasher from cat at the exchange.
That cost us about 45 seconds, no big deal though. My first part is mostly
flat, with slight downhills, then it climbs 400 ft in the latter half. I
tried to maintain a 7:00 pace on the flat, but the downhill seemed to be a
problem. I could hardly maintain 7:30, which is a little weird. The climb
wasn't as steep as my hill trainings, but somehow I had to drop the pace
significantly especially the last mile. At around mile 5, the van was
waiting for me. I had a sip of water and gave my lights to our crew so that
they can prepare for the next leg. The sun was setting but it was still
super bright. I had roadkilled 3 already and was aiming for the next one.
Just as I was getting to about 20 yards, either he picked up the pace or I
dropped, the gap was getting bigger. I decided not to charge and save energy
for tomorrow.
Leg 5, very hard, 6.08 miles, road kill 3. I was passed by 2 in this leg,
including a girl, who was at least half a minute faster and said "good job"
to me when she passed. I would later find out our crew was referring to her
as the "supergirl". | m**k
