Ragnar Relay Race 2008

Our van 1 team!







I just cannot tell you how invigorating I feel after after doing this race. I guess I have to explain what I am talking about..this is a relay with 12 people. Each of us had our own 3 "legs" of the race. It started in Logan, Utah and ended 180 miles south in Park City, Utah. Our team had 24 hours to run it. The theme if it all is "Run, Drive, Sleep, Repeat"., and that is exactly what we did. What was the best part of it all is we have a support van right next to you the whole time. They are there to give you water, in our case oranges which I might add as JD says was GOLD!, and I agree, gum, honks of the horn and words and cheers of encouragement! Our team wins the "most supportive" award from me. We just could not have had better support, I say we because Bubba also did it with me I should add that. I have to say thanks to Margo for inviting us to be on their team. It was our first year and I appreciate them being patient with our turtle legs.
In our burb it was Margo, JD, Chris, Anne, myself and Bubba. We had a blast. I am so excited to do it again next year. I hope to better myself and train better. I wish we could do it again tomorrow.
Sorry to throw in a ton of pictures I love to share my excitement with you all and I am just jealous of myself!

Isn't it fun to be jealous of yourself! That will be our new phrase now for awhile :) I'm soooo glad you and Bubba had a good time. You two definately made it so much fun for the rest of us. You did so great on the monster hill. I'm just sorry that Bubba was so much faster than his team and was looking to be on another one. Hopefully next year he can find his long lost running buddy and they can run together and do funny hand signals!
