running the ragnar


i did it! 
i ran the ragnar del sol with an awesome bunch of women
and had such a great time!
yes i "struggled" and was not as trained as i should've been
but i made it and would definitely do it again!
here is some highlights...
our team name was 'sol sisters'
only to discover half way through the race that van 1 had registered our team under another team's number 'sole sisters'
(which we beat by the way :)
the team names were pretty entertaining
the majority of them were a little dirty and so funny
i was so happy to have my girls amy & loa who definitely got me through
they rocked the ragnar!


no chafing! 
the pic above is me running in from my first leg
4.9 miles up hill in the heat!
i had a little panic attack half way up because i felt like i was dying...my stomach hurt so bad and the heat was so hot! there was some gagging and cursing and complete relief when i was finished...i wish we captured pics from our night runs those were awesome!
the last run of the race was a little tough too, my leg was only 3 miles but it was so hot i was not prepared for the heat!


i really had such a fun time and would love the chance to train more and even run one of the longer legs! thanks to the awesome girls in our van for the encouragement and entertainment...ragnar did not defeat us!
