It's my 5th Ragnar and it is honestly one of my favorite races. I know it sounds crazy when you explain it...running 16 1/2 miles, driving around for over 24 hours, sleeping on a hard gym floor for 2 hours...but you get 24 hours of uninterrupted friend time, eat snacks, laugh and get to act like a little girl. It was a little different this year since I was in a different van but it was non the less fun. My van buddies were Michelle, Mindy, Aubrey, Tiffany, and Christina.
At the beginning of the race....before the fun began!
Aubrey about to begin our first leg...
We of course stopped to play on the playground....
Mindy's botty sweat
Waiting for Michelle to run to us so we could scare her...
Eating at Cheesecake Factory in between legs
Getting ready for my night run....
7.5 miles at 2 am...this view made it worth it
Waiting at the wrong exchange....but we had out photo shoot with our van. Out van name was #escapingthe30 because between the 6 of us we have 30 kids. We bought 30 rag dolls and had them roped the all over the car...
Eating breakfast at Mimi's Cafe
Michelle not being a party pooper
My last exchange
At the finish line with the rest of our team
Another one in the bag....can't wait until next year!!!
