Ragnar 2012

I had the chance to participate in Ragnar this weekend. I had been wanting to do it for a couple of years, so when Alyson and Nicole invited me to join their team I jumped on it! I almost thwarted my opportunity when I dropped a can of corn on my foot putting groceries away a few weeks before the race. But, when life gives you corn...I make cornbread? Yeah...I'll go with that, cause there certainly wasn't any lemonade involved! But, I made it, and it was an awesome experience. The ladies on our team were amazing and so much fun!
All ready to start!

We had our own mascot even!

The starting line.

The first leg was particularly demanding--so we called in Big Earl! Check out that form!

Like I said, it was a demanding one!

Our team support was given in style!

Water is for....US! (Especially if it is Nicole's 'special' water!!)

I must have poked Tausha putting her number on...she was so good not to say anything!

And she's off!

Heading back to the van after an exchange point.

Annie's running was so delicate she was named Prancer--maybe the key lies somewhere in her playlist. I somehow never got a running shot!

Self proclaimed #2 (okay, her shirt deemed her as such)was a #1 here!

Nothing quite like reaching an exchange point! This one Alisa was particularly grateful for I think!

Trying to get a shot of Tausha.

Finally got it! Too bad she wasn't just getting done with one of her legs--she wears sweat well! :)

Thank goodness for snuggies and slankets!

Finish line.

Taking pride in my accomplishment!

Finally done--A little Jamba Juice helps make everything better!

But a seat was even better!


Van 1 Team shot. These ladies were so much fun! Running 200 miles never looked so good, don't you think?!

Finally heading home.

Sporting my medal!
