My first leg in total darkness, and I do mean darkness - no streetlights or moonlight to guide me. Equipped with my trusty headlamp, and the mandated reflective vest with blinkers front and back, and motivated by the thought of a flat, easy 4.3-mile stretch, I finished this leg in 27 minutes, for an average pace of 6:28/mile. Not quite as blazing as the previous leg, but I should mention that I came along with Kristi for moral support for 5.5 miles of her climb up Grandfather's Mountain, at about a 10:00/mile pace (Kandi handled the first 4.5 miles with her; this would be a recurring theme for the truly scary night legs).
