Then we were one--Team that is!

T-minus 8.5 weeks. Run, Forest, Run. I've been having a hard time finding time to run between commuting to SLC and working 10-hr days and managing family, life, etc. But screw it. I did a 2+ mile city run while hanging at my friends house (first time running in SLC) and got pelted by gobstoper-sized hail in the process. Should have taken a pix of my welts, but it was a surreal moment. If I can run in that and not die, why can't we all buck up and kick some RAGNAR ASS!! 

Thanks to all that have stepped up and helped me manage the team and get runners recruited. It's a daunting prospect but as I told a good friend of mine (BB), it's a rewarding experience in the end. Thanks to Eric with the final vehicle and thanks to my little Sis for offering to volunteer. We still need one more volunteer to make us totally complete.

My life is in complete limbo with work and such, but I think we will still be in Hyrum before the race and I offer our quarters for rendezvous the day before to assemble gear, decorate vans, etc. and a place for everyone to crash. I still think a get-to-know bbq would be a good idea in the next few weeks. Now that we have 3 Cache Valley-ians, maybe Brooke or Josh could host a get together in Kaysville????  Or if all you SLC valley folks want to get out of the big city, you all could come up to Hyrum.

Comments, thoughts, ideas, ideals, rants, raves, etc. are all appreciated! Especially from the RAGNAR alumni. I'm only a one-timer so I'm sure there are lot's of things to consider. [why doesn't RAGNAR have recycling bins]

Good luck and good night.

  2. Do you need another runner? I am looking for a team as my friends decided not to run this year. If you do not have a space available do you know anyone that needs a runner? Thanks, William, 801-404-1041
