ragnar 2012

it was the best of times, it was the worst of times...

it was the wastach back relay. i ran this crazy mess back in june with some family & friends. this race that i had known about for 9 or so months before, that i decided to forget about up until about a month prior. for those that weren't a part of this most fun nightmare, just imagine...

200 miles

2 days

12 team members

2 vans

3 legs (runs) each 

a sweaty slap bracelet

347 bottles of water

36 honey bucket stops

(plus a few more stops behind the bushes, and the home of a friendly watcher.)

all the luna, lara, kind, cliff, protein, fruity, nut bars you could imagine.
some messed up knees

1.5 hours of freezing cold sleep, pulled over on the side of road, sitting on one butt cheek while laying your head on top of cooler.
the loveliest of scenery
laughter
and loads of memories.

 alex & i & jordanelle.

 po' kenny.

 tunes that got me through the miles.

 the boys wrote some words on encouragement on my arms. mad's reads, "i lov yoo mom i hop yoo doo good in yr ras." darlingest.

i felt like i could have ran forever after my first, almost, 8 mile leg. yet, i cursed every mile of three miler.

our teammate, misti, had some company on her run through morgan.

some of the girls after my final leg.
