Ragnar 2011

One of the most amazing experiences in my life would be the Ragnar Relay I did in July. It is such a cool thing to do at least once in your life. You get a team of 12 people together and run 190 miles relay style. I had 3 legs running from 4 to 8 miles. It took us nearly 28 hours to complete it. I didn't know I could go on such little sleep, not the best of food in my tummy , and running at 4pm, 3am and 8am but I did. I really enjoyed this experience and if I had the opportunity to do it again with 11 friends, I would take it in a heartbeat!:


One of the requirements(not really) is to decorate your van that you are following along in. Our team name was "Pimp My Stride" We got a lot of compliments along the way!
The first 6 to start:

This is a guy that was suppose to do the race last year but days before, was in a motorcycle accident and couldn't do it. He came back to do it this year and was amazing. It really makes you grateful for what you have. Anna insisted on getting a picture with him. (we all thought he was really cute!:))

Here I am getting the bracelet from Tori in her tutu at the exchange to run my first leg.

Almost there:

Van 1 meeting up with Van 2: Anna, Tasha, Me and Carrie

Anna and I resting our heads for a few hours in between legs.

Another fun guy we met along the way. It is really cool how everyone cheers you on and supports you through these 190 miles.

At the finish line: We all made it!

The scariest thing for me was running in the dark and afraid of getting lost. I wrote directions all up and down my arm and I had Anna following pretty close behind me when it was pitch black! It wasn't too bad, but still very scary!
