Ragnar!!

We decided to run the Wasatch Back Ragnar last June. Our team name was the Ragnafarians! Hence the Rasta wig :)




Katye, Anna, and Me after we were finished running and waiting for the rest of the team.


My leg was a total of 20 miles. I started the team out with a 7 mile run in the freezing cold morning in Logan.


This Picture was taken in the afternoon shortly before my 2nd run of 8 miles





After our van was done running and the boys took over we headed for a place to sleep. We found a cheeseburger joint to grab some food and then headed to a high school I think to sleep. We got our sleeping bags out and headed for the grassy field. It was freezing cold and I didn't get any sleep! So exhausted after running 15 miles and no sleep I woke up to run my last leg of 5 miles at 5 a.m. I had blisters on both feet after that one :( It was a little bit of a rough experience for me. After running a marathon I thought it would be easier, but it was totally different and harder in some ways (lack of sleep, didn't train as much, lasted way longer than 4.5 hrs).




I think our team finished in around 32 hours or so. It was a good experience. Would I do it again? Probably not. Maybe. It can probably be related to childbirth. After long enough you forget how painful it is and do it again :)
