Ragnar Relay

Wow, I'm sure behind in blogging, so I think I'll add a few posts to try and catch up.  
In February I had the opportunity to be part of the Ragnar Relay that goes from Prescott to Mesa, Arizona.  There are 12 people on a team, and you each run 3 different legs of anywhere from 3-9 miles.  It was a total of 202 miles, but don't worry, I only ran 17 and a half of them.  Let me just say that it was a total blast and something I hope to be able to do many more times.  It was tough, but so worth it!

This was our team when we met up the morning of the race.  We've been training together for a LONG time, since August, and we couldn't wait to start the race!
Here are the girls from my van.  We were the second van to go, so this was us just before we started our legs of the race.  (Notice we still look fresh, we hadn't run yet. :)
And 30 hours later, we finished the race!!  It was quite an experience, and we ended up taking first place in our division.  (Out of the all women teams!)  There were about 220 teams total, and we got 89th overall.  We were pretty proud of ourselves!!  

Thanks girls for the memories, the fun, the laughter, and I can't wait till next year!
