Soda Fast, Ragnar Race

Colorado held it's first Ragnar Race and me and my girlfriends did it! It started in Breckenridge, went to Vail and to Aspen, it was crazy! Our team name was Soda Fast.. for sort of fast, or sort of slow, we had a six pack of cokes and a 6 pack of Dt. Coke. We had a team of 12, which meant each of us ran 3 legs. My first leg was 9.1 miles through Vail area, which started around 3 something, then my next leg started at 2:30 am, in Glenwood springs area for 4.9 miles ( the dark was freaky), then my next run was in the morning at 10 for a final 2.4 miles toward Aspen. We stayed in different Highschool gyms when we were not running and tried to sleep however there was not much of a window of time before the next van ended. I was able to sleep a grand total of 2 hours, from 5-7 am, eating was also tricky depending on when your run ended and your whole team ended, it was crazy and now that it is over I can say really fun! Our team also won best costumes!

 Carla and Tarra getting a little loopy.. cheering Jill on

 Sad face, my team kept being late to my exchanges so I would finish and the next runner was not there.. in their defense I had some tricky exchange points.

 Sleeping in the gym.. I'm obviously not sleeping, this was at 8pm at night, my body does not shut off that early!
