Ragnar Relay!

The problem with blogging so long after an event is over (about 2 months!) is that you lose some of the memory and emotion that went with it. Maybe that's just my age, but nevertheless, here are a handful of photos from the Ragnar Relay race that Roger & I participated in along with 10 other teammates to race 202 miles across Florida from Tarpon Springs to Daytona Beach. We had no idea what to expect other than we each had to run 3 legs from 3 to 8 miles long and we wouldn't get much sleep for 36 hours. We just packed a bag with some extra clothes and a few snacks and we were off!!! The race definitely had some highs and lows. After leg 2 I was thinking "I'm never doing this again", but after leg 3 I was planning on how to improve the race experience for next year. We'll see!
