I lucked out and ended up making 5 great new friends and escaped with soreness for only 1 day.
Our team name was "The Joggernauts." Van 1 consisted of Katie, Sara, Collin, Tim, Bryan, and Jo (Me) (I decided to go by my nickname for this event in case my team turned out to be weirdos, then they couldn't track me down.)
The first legs of the race took us through Cache Valley - Gorgeous!
Bryan got to crest the top of Avon Pass - again, gorgeous!
We ate dinner in the parking lot of snowbasin ski resort while listening to a tone deaf band.
Katie was the first hand cyclist to do the Ragnar. She is the one who gave us great times. She puts up a 5 min mile. The Deseret News even wrote a story on her for competing in the Ragnar. If you want to know more about her story you can go here for more.
After only 3 hours of sleep we were ready for our final legs.
Bryan's caption for this picture: Smiling after running her last 8 miles.. How? Why?!Next time I run one of these things, I'm going to train. I was ok not training, but I know I'd feel more accomplished if I trained and I would put up faster times.
Events like this are stressful and people get crabby with the lack of sleep, but they are also the events where you leave laughing about all of the inside jokes and funny things that happened that aren't funny to anyone else.
Get down from der - doot doot doot dooot doooot - You will get in our car, declare your age, and eat chowder - this building won an award in 1997 for being built by a lady who was between the ages of 40 and 60 - Beefcakes - Sara's incredible dance moves - beating the tutus - dusting people walking - the green goblin - sweat of asians - and of course, the terrible band at Snowbasin
