Let’s try this one more time….
Leg one: started at 7:30am on Friday in the pouring down rain. I’ve never been the first runner for a relay team and honestly, it was kind of nice - even in the rain. I was able to fall in with these two really nice ladies and finish the loop with them. We kept each other from going too fast and finished strong, despite the fact that we were all soaked when we got done.
Leg two: started at 3:20pm, Friday - this was supposed to be the hard leg but it felt easier to me? After mile three, I just felt like I was flying and then suddenly it was over. I’m happy because I feel like this shows improvement over the previous years.
Leg three: this was a combination of many things. I started at 12:30am on Saturday. I hadn’t slept yet. This was the last 5 of almost 16 miles. My knee was killing me and this upper respiratory infection was kicking my ass so I was having a hard time breathing. But I made it, even if it was slower than I would have liked. It was alright.
Ragnar relays will always be one of my favorite experiences.
