{Vegas-Ragnar}

This was my first time doing Ragnar. And honestly i didn't know what to expect! It was really crazy but way fun.I have a ton of pictures below, so sorry for the picture overload. I have been wanting to get into running, so when me and my sister got hooked up to go with a bunch of girls from California, we jumped at the offer. And honestly, i think their was no better way to get motivated to run.
My first leg was 7.6 miles. second was like 4.1, and third was 5.6. I think the middle run was the hardest. Which is funny because it was my easiest (I swear it was longer than it was supposed to be, it was all up hill, i was tired and sore, and to top it off i got LOST!) My first one was half up hill too, and seriously, those hills are a biznatch!
The decorations that people dress up their car and themselves is probably the funniest part.
There was a group we kept by that were "white trash" They all had wig mullets when they ran, and Levi shorts, and some wore boots! crazy. There were some that dressed up like the situation. They all had muscle ab shirts. funny. And did their hair like him. And now our lovely team name SWOOBS....well....lets just say... i was the odd one out on the name/size.
Any who, it was a really good time otherwise. I would love to do it again.

{This was the day before, driving, aka "carb loading day"
which sucked by the way.
I feel crappy eating too many carbs.
I say eat normal with a little bit of carbs.}
{I felt totally gross, hence the face}

{This was after Mine and Sarah's night run (2nd run), she always ran right after me}


{haha ummm...no comment? i didn't choose it.
I guess that's what happens when you get an all women team.}


{Sarah's team name}


{My name(At the top)...fitting isn't it! ya i was the only one referring to smaller ones? }


{Amanda Allen's first run, she's from Utah too}


{My first run, (I look like I'm walking) totally not though.}


{ohhh and we totally lucked out on weather. Cloudy and 70's.}

{Sarah's first run}

{You have to slap this bracelet (tracker) on the next runner.}

{Team support, you wouldn't think this would be important, but totally is}

{This was a DEXTER van i saw}


{Sar modeling so well in front of the swoob van.}

{This was like...Oh what. i have an awesome medal.}


{Me and the sis...after about 36 hours in the van and running...we were done and ready to shower (instead of using wet wipes). lovely i know. And of course sleep. Sense we only had gotten two. It's cool though. It was worth it.

You are a bad ass. You and your sis look mighty fine in all these pictures even though you are running and tired. Great work. Let's make our own team for another Ragnar race? The Utah one is already sold out....
