R-A-G-N-A-R

This past weekend ran the Ragnar Relay and it was tons of fun.
We were the Swiss Rappers..
Their was lots of laughter.. some toilet paper football while cheering on teammate on
Their was our money maker van.. don't know how that came about but we thought it was funny
 I did some dancing while warming up for my first run....
 Lots and Lots of running
my running:

LEG 1
2:30pm friday
4.5 miles
7.35min per mile average

LEG 2
12:30am saturday
6.5 miles
7.5min per mile average (hollllla!)
wore a headlight of my head and back of my head a tail light with some sweet tunes singing in my ear
 

LEG 3
10:00 am Saturday (was sometime around 10-10:30)
5.5 miles
(legs felt like cement at this point, btw esp with trying to conquer rolling hills in Scottsdale)
8min per mile average
last run on about 1 1/2 hrs of sleep

my thoughts on that:
i'm pleased with all my times, but i'm freakin'
stoked about Leg 2. because the weather was perfect, felt so good while running, was full of energy and felt when i was done i wanted to keep running. i think sometimes i will now i will want to run late night but don't worry i wont i know its not safe.

overall:
200 miles. 30ish hours. so much running. not so much sleeping. so much time in a mini van. so much friendship making. lots and lots of laughter and lots of cheering for teammates.  not so much showering. so much dance partying on the side of the road.
oh, and sooo. much. Swiss Rappering . and a desire to do this again next year

P.S. I want to be on this cover next year dressed up like craziness for people for laugh at
Happy Running with Beautiful Az Weather Outside

Britt-That is so AWESOME! You have amazing times, and I've heard those races are a BLAST! Maybe one day I will know enough cool people to do one!
