No sleep, little food, lots of running, lots of rain! I look like crap!

This past week I had the opportunity to go back to DC and run The Ragnar Relay with some friends. The Ragnar Relay is 183 miles from Cumberland, MD to Washington DC. We had 6 guys and 6 girls on our team. Each person ran 3 legs ranging from 2 to 9 miles. You really get no sleep, drive a lot, and wait a lot for your leg to start. I was pretty excited to be done with my last leg of 6.5 miles. The day of I swore I wouldn't do another one but now that it's been a few days Im thinking Ragnar Relay Del Sol here in Arizona in February is sounding kind of fun! I like a good challenge!
