Ragnar, Leg 5. Plan was to take the first leg pretty easy at a 6:40ish pace, but I started out way too quick (first mile 6:08) and had to consciously scale back to a more comfortably sustainable 6:30-6:40. Quite hot in the sun. Passed 25 people.

Ragnar, Leg 17. Went super well and according to plan! Maintained a 6:30 pace then ramped up and pushed hard at the end. Passed 51 people. For the first three or four miles I was lucky enough to catch the tail end of a beautiful sunset over the farm fields. With about 1.5 miles to go I was surprised by our entire Van 2 squad waiting at the side of the road to cheer me on, which was a fantastic morale boost and definitely helped me speed up.
