Ragnar So Cal

 Ragnar So Cal
Cirque de Sore Legs
Crazy fun race from Huntington Beach, CA to Embarcadero Marina Park South San Diego, CA. 195 miles of running with a 12 person relay team.
Kelli Brown asked me about a week before the start of the race if I wanted to do the Ragnar So Cal. I wasn't completely sold on the idea but Ryan was more than happy to hold down the fort so I went ahead and signed on. I am so glad I did. It was so hard and so much fun at the same time. The only person I knew on the team was Kelli but I quickly made friends with the other girls in my car and laughed so hard all weekend. I ran three different legs for a total of 16.5 miles. My last leg of 7.4 miles was the hardest. Mainly because it took me straight to the beach and all I wanted to do was sit on the beach and watch the waves come in. Instead I ran through a bunch a people and up a giant hill to get to the next exchange. Again so hard but so worth the challenge. I am happy I did it. I'm glad Kelli asked me to sign up and I am glad that I am fit enough to have only a weeks notice to run races and able to do it. If I was asked again I would do another Ragnar, even though I ran 3.7 miles at about 3am.
Karen Andersen, Kelli Brown, Harmony Bryce, Dyan, Heidi Andersen, and Jessika Hunter, the girls in my van. So fun and we had a blast.
 Right before the start of my first leg, 5.4 miles. It was so hot and had a pretty good hill but I loved being done at the end.
 Van #2 at La Jolla Beach waiting for Van #1 to show up. So pretty.
 Right before my last leg. By far my hardest and took me way too long to complete but I did it.
 myself, Kelli, Jessika, Heidi, Harmony, and Karen. We are done with the race and loving our tats.
 All done with the race with my medal.
 Me and Kelli all done. We had a great time.
 Team Cirque de Sore Legs, we finished in 34 hours and 45 minutes. Great times!!!
