Ragnar Relay, 2010

Here are the pages I made from the Ragnar Relay Del Sol. "What is this" you might be asking...it is a relay race made up with a team of 12 runners, 2 vans, and 2 drivers . Over 24 hours (or more in our case), the team takes turns running 3-8 mile legs, 3x each starting in Prescott, AZ to Tempe,AZ. This is approximately 202 miles. I was a little skeptical about participating in such an unusual event, BUT it was soooo much fun! We had a great group of runners, all levels and stages in their running careers. Not only did I have my crAZy Babes with me in my van (a.k.a Liz and Susie), but my sister Kari and her husband Ruben were runners as well. Our team name was The Sole Roadies and as you can see from the pictures, we decorated the vans with desert scenery, mountains, cactus, and roadrunners...MEEP,MEEP!!! While we didn't get to see much of van #1 except at the exchanges (when one van of runners was done running and the next van of runners started their legs), it was a great feeling to have knowing you were part of something bigger than just your own race. You had a team depending on you to get your miles run so they could move forward. What an experience, thanks Angela for your leadership and enthusiasm for such a unique event! I can't wait for next year!

P.S. Just for your info, there was NO drinking and running (or driving) as shown in a few photos...just for laughs!
