RAGNAR 2012

Funny twist of fate...I ended up joining a team for RAGNAR and passed on the free LS entry. I have done a 70.3, but never an all night running party (I mean relay).
This is a whole different kind of endurance. 12 runners, 2 vans, 200 miles, 28 hours of running, 2 hours of sleep.
I'm glad I did it for the experience. I'm not sure I would do it again. I love running. The waiting around was exhausting.
I love the running community-what a testament to the sport when you can hop into a van full of strangers, bond over bagels and bananas, support each other logistically, work toward the finish line together, and at the end talk about plans for the next adventure.
