Ragnar Relay.

Here are some of our Ragnar Relay pictures! It was a blast. I would really recommend doing it if you ever get a chance! Can't wait till next year!

Getting the cars decorated and ready to go. Hooligans on the run... Here we come!

Here's half of our team. We had to start at 10:30 am . The other 6 met us in Liberty. We had a great team.

Dana was our first runner! She had to run in the dead heat of the day. I had to go the bathroom so bad that we didn't get her any water till like mile 3.5 .. Sorry Tesch! You would've done the same! Thank goodness for the little aid station, right? You did awesome! Good job.

Shay was runner 2. Her first run was a pretty hard run. She did great! Nice job shay!

Taking a break while Maryann was off and running! Nothing like enjoying the Shade on a hot summer day! Like how we are all wearing pink? Was not planned at all! HMMM we must be related!

I love this picture of Randy. He was so nervous, the anticipation was killing him. He wanted to get to the exchange spot and get in his "Zone" . This was his first race! Hopefully not his last! He did great. He had a really hard run for his first leg. He had to go 7.3 miles up Avon, all dirt road, and did I mention it was freaking HOT! !

Randy in his ZONE!! He'll be coming around the mountain when he comes! Waiting for Brian so he can start his leg!

Giving the Hubby water, Want to take care of him so he will want to do this again.

My turn to get in my zone. It sucks when its your turn to run. You get really nervous and just want to go. Shay was helping me not to be nervous.. Didn't help though.

Finally, my turn to get out and move it! I had a 7.9 mile down hill on dirt road. Did I mention it was HOT !!

Here's a pic of my run. This picture did not do my hill justice! The view was Awesome. It was a great run, really hot but so pretty!

Here's the other half of our team. This is the first time since we started that we met up with them. They are getting ready to start there runs. As soon as I do the hand off to Stacey Merrill we were done running for a few hours.. Awhh a nice little break!

WOHOO!! The first exchange! We are done! Lets go eat some good food! At least that's what we thought.

After we got done running we went to Subway in Huntsville. They were not ready for this event. We waited in line for 30 minutes, barley even moved. So we ended up going to chevron for a GROSS sandwich that had been sitting there all day long. We started our run around 7 pm. In between people running we stopped at some of the different " designated areas" for a meal and a shower. I did my last run for the night in Morgan, and it went all the way up to the east canyon marina. That was hard.. It was nice to run it in the dark. I wasn't able to see what I was up against.. Nothing like rocking out to my I-pod in a pitch black canyon at midnight.. Just when you think your body has nothing left to give, somehow it digs down deep and keeps on going! Its amazing!

Once I was done ( around 1 am) we headed off to one of Randy's buddies house in Kamas. We crashed there for a few hours. Its amazing what a hot shower and a toothbrush will do for you.

We started running again around 6 am. Luckily most of us had most of our miles done from the day before ( sorry Maryann) so it wasn't too bad having to run another 3 -4 miles on no sleep. It was a great feeling doing the last exchange to van#2 . We were off to get a big greasy hamburger, check in our hotel, sat in the hot tub, set off the hotel smoke alarm, and then got all cleaned up to go and cross the finish line with our team. Just as we got to the finish line the heavens opened up and the rain came pouring down. Bummer, they had lots of things to see and do at the finish line, cause of the rain it was cut short.

So here we are to the finish line! My camera was on its last life of battery so I had to stop taking so many pictures. Not only that , We were exhausted!!



We finished in 28 hrs and 55 minutes! Not bad for all rookies! We had an awesome team. Can't wait for next year! Way to go HOOLIGANS ON THE RUN!!
