RaGnAr!



So, this is is my friend Melissa - and oh what a good friend she is!!

But, she is a bit of a CrAzY and gets some wild ideas - that's how I ended up doing the Ragnar race w/her!!






This is half of our team - and we were in "van 2!" Ragnar is a race from Logan to Park City - 188 miles called the "Wasatch Back"!

There are 12 members on the team and we each run 3 different legs.
We travel 6 in van 1 and 6 in van 2 all along the way - we started Friday early morning and finished early Saturday afternoon!

Our team was the "SWACK sisters" - which in some language means fit and AWESOM ;)



Here we all are! My distances to run were
1. 3.6 miles
2. 7.7 miles
3. 4.0 miles STRAIGHT UPHILL (that was actually the leg named RAGNAR because it is SOOO hard!!)








AND the best part is - I SURVIVED!! This is a glimpse of the finish line - it looks a lot better once you get up the hill!! There were a lot more people and it was exhilarating to run across the finish line as a team!

We had a great time (even though we didn't even get to sleep!!) and I am glad I did it! Now I have a STICKER I can put on my car!!! (That's WHY I did it ;)
