I know I've mentioned it before but Ragnar was sort of the focus of my life for the last few weeks. Trying to work in running every night - juggling a toddler schedule, 2 soccer games, making dinner, the occasional cleaning spree or laundry event made running sometimes hard and frustrating, but it all paid off and we had a great race.
I shall share a short recap in pictures.
 |
| This is our team - A Case of the Runs - pre-race, aptly located in front of the port-o-potties. It was about 5am. |
 |
| The Start Line. It was 5:15am so everyone had to wear their reflective vests and headlamps. |
 |
| Me (center w/o bib) with about half our team at Exchange 3 |
 |
| Our most stylish runner, by far! |
 |
| My husband... who makes running 5 miles look like a walk from the living room to the kitchen. And, yes... his legs really are that white. |
 |
| Probably the most unflattering picture of me... and notice I'm not exactly running... It was 110 degrees off the pavement so I was walking at this point. Notice I have water, Gatorade and Mark has 2 ice bags for me. It was ridiculously hot. I want no comments about my outfit not matching, either. It did match. And it was bright and cheery! |
 |
| Skip ahead about 25 hours and here we are on beautiful Coronado Island - finished with the race. I am on the left end - I was runner #12 so I had just finished my last leg about 10 minutes before this. Thus the sweaty glow and stellar outfit choice. Notice our very cool medals (they double as bottle openers!) |
 |
| Our celebratory lunch at Pizzeria Luigi on Golden Hill in San Diego. The pizza is worth doing the race for. Delish! |
It was a great race and our team did great! Everyone is so pumped that we're putting together a team to do the NorCal race in September.
But for now... amidst the running... back to food!
