Ragnar Relay!

Just a quick note, we moved the day before Ragnar... (little stress!)

and you all know how living in a maze of boxes is, this is just a teeny, tiny look!

After Ragnar we headed to Salem for my brother Craig and cousin Morgan's farewells. Lani, silly Jace, Tracy and Marin... it was such a nice day!


The START! For van 2 anyway! We started about 1pm in Liberty, Utah...
We are: Trent, Janelle, Nat and Jed and Christa and Matt

Our van aka: water/food station and sleeping quarters!


Matt's first leg... it's was HOT and pretty steep!


Some guy was misting another runner with water out of an old weed sprayer, so he accommodated Mateo!!

Janelle on her first leg...

Coming to the finish of my first leg...

Jed handing off to Nat and off she goes...

Natalie had a pretty hot, steep first leg as well...

It was such a beautiful run though, wherever we ran... Trent getting water ready for someone!

Ragnar is run for 24 hours so here are a few shots of the night runs...

Trent handing off to Janelle...

Trying to catch a few Z's before his next big leg...

Our Van, or home away from home for 2 days!

I am only smiling in this picture because this was my hardest leg/hike and I had to be running for the picture!!!

3.5 miles of pretty steep, muddying terrain. It was a 1500 ft elevation gain and it was also POURING rain!!

My hand off to Jed, never have I ever been so happy to see him!

Tears of JOY that that leg was over!!

Jed had another grueling 4 up hill miles, in the rain with another 1500 ft elevation gain...

And he RAN the entire way!! GO JED! Our teams Hero!

The start of Matt's last leg. He was pretty happy to be about done, we all were!

Just 3 miles left to the finish! Go Mateo!!

Team #534 The Rockin Runners!! What a blast it was. Crazy, tiring, but SO MUCH FUN! Matt and I are so glad we got to do this. Thank you so much Nat for getting it all together!! Go Wasatch Back!
