Wow, so cool! It was great to finally be able to start running after the excitement of the day. My turn! Beautiful run with vineyards on the side. Felt great and had to work to not start off too fast. For the majority of the run, there was a cold, strong headwind - sometimes it felt like I was running and not making much forward motion. The cold is not a problem as I warm up quickly, but the headwind was the strongest I've run in. Saw another runner far in the distance and decided to try to catch him. It took a while, but I caught him and passed him with a mile to go. It was such a fun run and I finished minutes faster than my anticipated time. Yeah! This has been an awesome experience. The distance on my leg was 5.6 miles and the iPod showed 5.63 miles. How's that for accuracy! Next leg will be about 4 am in it will be cold!
