Ragnar Relay Completed!

This summer, I was asked by Dave's sisters to participate with them in a relay race up in Washington called the Ragnar Relay Northwest Passage. So I started running in order to be in shape by the time the ace came around. Well, from the time I said yes to the moment it was time to race went VERY quickly! I made a countdown to put on the wall in my room... it went from 80 days to seven in no time! I ran three legs in the race (as did all all the other 11 racers on our team). The legs were 3.4, 4.2 and 4.3 miles long. We decided that our team name could be "Steve Prefontaine is Oregon's Jim Morrison" or SPOJM for short. Our team's start time was at 10 am, and we ran through the night until the evening of the next day. My easiest leg was probably the one at 4am, since it was nice and cool outside :)

I'm still sore, but it was totally worth it. I've never done anything like it, and I hope to get a few other races in before the end of the summer!

Our team put together a team photobucket, so here is the slideshow we have so far, and we have been adding pictures from everyone's cameras.
