I did my first long distance relay race starting Friday night. We had an 11 member team and we went 156 miles from Springdale AR to Springfield Mo in 22.5hrs so we averaged 8:39 per mile. We started at 4:00pm Friday and finished 2:30pm Saturday.
My part was 3 legs totaling a little over 18 miles and I averaged 7:45.
That was some of the hilliest 156 miles I have ever seen though I am sure there are worse courses. Terrain varied from basic roads in town to almost single lane dirt road and even a 6 mile stretch that was single track trail running.
If you ever get the chance to do a big relay with a group its fun. I plan to do more. It was a blast.
