RAGNAR LAS VEGAS

my second race of this month is over and done. but it sure was a lot of fun.
ha what if i rhymed the whole blog post??
dont worry i will try my best not to turn into a ghost
okay just kidding.
but really i finished ragnar!!
it was a lot of fun :) the team name was sweaty wedgies and i was on a team with 11 boys. fun for me right? wrong. i got picked on the entire time. i dont know why people think i'm such an easy target?!
we drove down to mesquite on thursday night and woke up extra early so we could hit the grocery store and make our way to the start line. i was runner 5 in van one - so i had a few hours of waiting before i actually got to run. but by the time i did get to run my first leg WOW it was sure hot outside. it was close to 90 degrees and my run was basically a ton of steep uphill. i finished though and passed the baton to the next contestant in our van and at our first exchange we actually were at a pool and hot tub so that was amazing.
my second and third legs were during the dark hours of the night which makes it a lot easier to run - and you cant tell where you are going so that makes it great!
after all my runs i seriously felt fine, i had no pains in my ankles or hips and i was super stoked about that. maybe the moab race was just not a good day for me..
my van got about 2.5 hours of sleep during the night and tried to get more while waiting at the finish line but there was a dang car alarm going off and i swear it never stopped.
sweaty wedgies crossed the finish line in about 27 hours - we placed tenth in men's division and 50th overall out of 477 teams! we did so well and i am way excited about it .
because i ran the ragnar in utah i got a saints and sinners medal, and because i ran the ragnar in arizona and vegas i got a deuces wild medal. plus the medal for finishing the vegas one! so i left vegas with 3 stinking cool medals to come show off at home.
for registering for the race early we got 2 free rooms to new york new york hotel and casino on the strip in vegas! we were all super sleepy though so we passed out about 10:00!
overall i had a way fun time at ragnar las vegas. i am not sure when the next ragnar is that i am going to do but i sure hope it's soon because these races are such a great time!
here are some shots from the race :)











now only one more race to go and i am done with my death two weeks! my goal is still under two hours so WISH ME LUCK!!
