(me in the middle of my second leg)
A few weekends ago, I ran the Ragnar Wasatch Back Relay.
188 miles from Logan to Park City.
12 runners on a team.
3 legs for each runner.
This post title says it all:
We ran, drove, tried to catch some winks. Then pushed repeat.
I ran with my two sisters, some of my twin sister's family members and a few other people. Our team was appropriately named the Rag Tag Bunch and collectively, we spent just about 33 hours running in Utah's beautiful and grueling back country.
My parents surprised us and met our van right after we ran our first legs.
(they drove from Colorado to see us race)
My dad ran my third and most difficult leg with me.
When it was all over, I had run 18.4 miles in just under 3 hours.
Did I mention that
IT WAS SO MUCH FUN!
I was on a running high for DAYS.
In fact, I had been planning on hanging up my running shoes for the summer to get some variety in my exercise, but after the race I realized, I can't give it up.
