Ragnar Relay LA

A few weeks ago (April 23-24th), Ben and I participated in our second Ragnar Relay race. This time it was in LA. We started at Ventura and ended at Dana Point. The total course was a little over 200 miles which was spilt among 12 team members running three legs each in about 24 hours (well it took us around 32 hours). I was on a team of 12 girls and Ben was on a team of 12 boys. I ran around a total of 15 miles and Ben about 17 miles. I felt like a had trained enough so each of my legs felt pretty good. Ben on the other hand, only ran about 3 times before the race, but he actually pulled through and did really well on some very hard legs. He actually almost got hit by a car, but luckily he was able to dodge it. Most of my legs were through industrial areas or ghettos...not really what I was expecting, but it kept me on my toes. However, running down Sunset Blvd. at 2:30 am is not something I would like to do again! There were bums and drunk people everywhere...it was pretty creepy and more than enough incentive to run as fast as I could! Luckily, I was able to run with a team member and I had my mace and cell phone in hand...we survived:) Quite the little adventure, right?






Thank you Annette and Katie for flying in to take care of our little guys...they had a blast and were so sad when you left! Also, thanks Sam for watching the boys on Sunday...you did a great job!
