Just got done running Ragnar with my sister-in-law Becky and her friends. It was a lot of fun, a lot of pain, and not a lot of sleep. It's 188 miles divided into 12 runners, 6 in each van, each of you taking 3 legs Running from Logan to Park City -- it was gorgeous! Van one starts and you get to rest as the other van is running. Our van was first so we ran our first and second legs on Friday. We got to catch about 4 hours of sleep in a high school gym (something that isn't fun unless you are still in high school). Then up again at 6 to start our third leg on Saturday. Something about experiencing something so crazy actually creates a weird bond, which I think is why it was so fun...because the running part really wasn't :-)
Start of the race. 5 am wake up call that's why we're all so beautiful.
Our Van; Me, Becky, Rachel, Kristen, Lisa, and Camille
Some of what we got to run through.
After our 1st leg was complete
Just getting done with my third leg which was my longest leg 8 miles gradual uphill, with a one mile stretch that was super steep.
We wore these slap stick bracelets (remember them from when you were little?) and they had a computer chip thing in them I guess. At each exchange we would pass it to the next runner.
All of our van done with our legs.
Riding the Gondola to the finish line (this may have been my and Camille's favorite part). The second van runners had the last stretch, but at about 100 yards from the finish line all the team members join in with the last runner and run together through the finish line.
Our team (minus Rachel and Kristen) at the end.
As tired as Becky and I were we signed up to do it next year with our family...so Jim, Elisa, Luke, Zach, Judd, Mom,Bryn, Trey, Kade and Josh get training!!!!!
