Ragnar is a 12 person per team relay race covering 188 miles from Logan to Park City with each team member running 3 legs. It's challanging, but also a lot of fun. Since this was my first time running this race it was extra fun to be on a team with my sister Emilee. She's the person I love to run with the most.
The girls in our "van" Brittney, Emilee, me (minus Jackie because she's running)...and James.
Most of our team.
Jackie handing off to Emilee on her first leg.
James handing off to me on my first leg which was 3.7 miles up the canyon to Snow Basin. This was the leg I was most nervous about. It was hard, but I think I did well. I didn't ever walk and even passed quite a few people .
The canyon I ran up.
Finishing my first leg.
Taking a breather after my hand off to Brittney.
At Snow Basin after our first legs. We're happy because we've eaten and we have on clean clothes. (We're missing Jackie...where did she go?)
Waiting for Emilee to finish her second leg...in the middle of the night.
Finishing my 3rd leg which was 5.5 miles (which turned out to be 7.5 miles) down the canyon past Deer Valley into Park City. I wasn't nervous about this run but it ended up being the toughest one for me. You would think that running down would be easy, but it was so steep and most of the run was on a trail. And with only 2 hours of real sleep and another 5.5 mile run in the middle of the night..I was happy to be finished.
