So my friend ran across a guy selling his Ragnar spot on KSL, so she snagged it, we came up with 12 people, all totally last minute and next thing we all knew we were headed to the race!!!
::Van 2::
heading down to Eden to the Exchange 6,
the first exchange from Van 1 to Van 2!!!
waiting for our safety training before we could start the race!
Tom, Andrea, Me, Heather, LuAnn and Lindsey
Tricia ::runner 6:: heading in for our first exchange!!!
me ::runner 8:: heading out on my first run!!!
done with my first run, just handed off to Tom!
... and Tom ::runner 9:: handing off to Lindsey ::runner 10::
The whole team, at Snow Basin, except Cyndi, Andrea had just handed off to her...
me, Heather, Tom, Andrea, Ben, Tricia, Anna,LuAnn, Lindsey, Zalia, and Tamara!!!
::Van 1 was going to the next exchange and we were going to "rest", Tamara was haven fun yelling at us through the sunroof with a megaphone!!
Heather, chillen in the "van"
after we stopped at East Canyon Reservoir and tried to "sleep" which was unsuccessful it was our turn to run again. LuAnn started her 3.8 mile run at about midnight and took us from East Canyon Reservoir through and up the canyon, I ran 7.0 miles from about 12:30am to 1:30am I ran down the Canyon Road and through Henefer and handed off to Tom... Tom took over and ran 10 miles to Echo Reservoir and ended at North Summit High School, Lindsey ran 7.6 miles from there along the Weber River towards Wanship, Heather ran 5.5 miles from Wanship to Rockport Lake and Annie ran 6.9 miles from there to the Oakley Rodeo Grounds!! Annie got to run while watching the sunrise Saturday morning!!! We literally ran all night long!!! It was awesome!!!
Annie handing off to Cyndi Saturday morning...
meeting up with Van 1 again Saturday afternoon, at Summit High School, after our 2 hour nap! We each had one more run to finish up the race!!
Lindsey entertaining us, she had a little "flag off" with these boys who were standing here cheering people on!! They were both doing different tricks with their flags!!! She's so funny!!!!
Tom's severe uphill climb through Wasatch Mountain State Park
Lindsey's severe uphill climb, up and over gaurdsmans...
Heather's last run 7.3 miles downhill into Deer Valley Resort!
...handing off to Annie who would finish the race and run 6.9 miles from Deer Valley Resort to Park City High School!!!
waiting for Annie to come in so we can all cross the finish together!!!
woo hoo! crossing the finish line!! I think it took us about 35 hours to run the whole race! Considering we threw a team together in a week, and not one of us had trained for it! We rocked it!!!
::van 2:: Heather, Annie, Tom, Me, Lindsey, LuAnn!!!!
jokingly we named our van ::one day trainers / sister wives:: Tom was our only guy and was a good sport to put up with all our "girl talk" and get us everything we needed, when we needed it ;)!!!
It was such a fun experience!!! You walk away feeling awesome about what you just accomplished and laughing your guts out! It was so much fun hanging out with such great people for two days, stinky in a van!! Great memories with Great friends!!!
