Ragnar Relay: Great River — My mapped legs

These are the three legs of the Great River Ragnar Relay that I'm running this coming Friday and Saturday.

If my math is somewhat close to being correct, after starting from Winona at 6:00am on Friday morning, my teammates will run a total of 4 hours and 13 minutes before I have my first leg of 8.2 miles.

After my first leg, which should take me approximately one hour and 6 minutes, my teammates will run for a combined total of 9 hours and 45 minutes (roughly) before I run my second leg of 6.2 miles. This second leg should take me 53 minutes to complete. At this point in the relay the time should be 10 pm and I'll have another 9 hours and 13 minutes before I have to run again.

My third and last leg will be 7 miles long and should take me an hour to complete it. My team, the Rock-N-Runners, should cross the finish line at 1:46 pm on Saturday with a total time of 31 hours and 46 minutes.

This is all based on estimated pace and will more than likely not be our actual finishing time.
