Ragnar Northwest Passage - 2013

Ryan decided to put together a Ragnar team.

The kids joined us for most of the daytime hours.

12 runners

2 vans

196 miles

Each runner runs 3 legs, ranging from 2.5 to 9 miles.

Starting my final run

So happy to be finished!

Ryan had the final leg...here we are coming in at the finish line.  We all waited for Ryan at the finish line and then ran the last bit as a team, Ryan pushing Madsen and Tori in the stroller, and Cassia and I running along side.

The whole team, consisted mostly of Ryan's co-workers and signficant others (spouses, fiances, girlfriends)

We had a great time hanging out with this bunch.

With a time of 28:29:41 we took 97th of 373 Overall, and 49th of 217 for our Mixed/Open category.

2 free pizzas at the finish line.

I highly recommend Ragnar to anyone who likes to run and enjoys being around lots of runners.  They have Ragnar races all over the county.  It was a totally unique experiences that I absolutely loved.  Being engulfed in a running community for that many hours was so much fun.  I'll tell you this much there were a lot of fit people who are just as crazy as I am around.  It was a blast!
