I ran my 1st ragnar race last year when I was 8 weeks pregnant with twins. It was tough but I had so much fun that I really wanted to do it again this year. I didn't know if I would be able to get myself back in shape that fast after having twins but it gave me a goal and purpose to get my butt running again. I started training when they were 3 months old and they were 5 1/2 months when I ran it.
I had so much fun and it was worth all the sacrifice. We were van 1 this year so we had to leave around 430 in the morning to make it to the starting line by 5:30. It was raining and snowing when we started the race. I am so glad I was runner 3 cause by then it had warmed up a little. My first leg was only 4.5 miles and mostly downhill so I ran it in at a 8:35 min mile. My second leg was 6.2 and it was the hills up at Redrock so my pace was a lot slower around a 10 min mile. My third leg was 5.5 miles and it had up and down hills so again my pace was around a 10 min mile.
I have made it my new goal to run ragnar every year for as many years as this body will let me. It is seriously that much fun.
