Ragnar Relay Wasatch Back '15

We were SO excited to head out for Ragnar!
Mindy, Janelle, Me, Melissa, Mindi and Brenda
The coolest and funnest running team ever.

Van 1 had a start time of 4am so we slept in and headed up to meet them at the first exchange. 
We checked in and decorated our Leagally Dead team van!
Didn't get pictures of the sides but this will do:)

Got some temporary Ragnar tattoos




Sent out our 1st runner and goofed off in the van while we waited!
Love my sis!





 Almost my turn! Waiting at the exchange.

 My first leg was mostly down hill and about 6 or so miles. It totally sucked that I had bad side stiches on each run. I tried all the tricks to get them to go away but I think it was mostly the elevation. 

Loved being out in the sunshine with a great view!

Felt good at the end! I was definitely ready to be done!


Ran into my step sisters friend!


 Trying to get some sleep in the school gym! I think I got about 1.5-2 hours of sleep.

About 1am for my night run and 2nd leg! 5 or so miles! 
 It wasn't marked very well so I thought I go lost but once a saw another runner night vest coming way behind me I knew I was headed in the right direction. Since it was in the middle of the night, it was pitch dark! I felt like I was going to be eaten by a coyote or some crazy animal!



 Green and beautiful! Waiting for Melissa to tackle the 11 miles up the crazy steep Ragnar hill!


Slapping the bracelet and off goes Brenda!

She's a champ!!! 12 weeks post op surgery and feeling great! She did amazing and earned a Ragnar Hill medal!




Blistered feet of course


We did it!! 200 ish miles:) The whole team at the finish!







 Proud of our team! No complaints and we did great!



I heart Ragnar and can't wait to do it again!
