Words cannot describe the difficulty of my leg. The steep climbs and constant increasing gradient forced me to wlak for 2.5 miles, breathing hard the whole way with a HR that equaled racing a 10K! But the longer downhill was treacherous in it's drop-off and rough rocky road surface. I managed to average 11 min. miles even though I did a lot of walking because I made up for the slower walking pace but bombing the downhill even braking to avoid disaster!
My teammates called me on the phone giving me encouragement and I stopped a few times to take pics. With this amount of pain, I wanted to enjoy myself! LOL Now we have to see how we recover and fare on our next legs at night and on our last leg? This is new to me and quite the adventure! Se you guys later with more info.
