Ragnar Del Sol!!!
Our first Ragnar of 2012! We went down to Arizona to run the 200.5 miles
from Wickenburg to Tempe on a twelve-man team, this was Eric and Leslie’s first
Ragnar and they loved it! It was such great weather! The day runs were pretty hot, this course had early night
gear rules (reflective vest, headlamp, and tail light), night gear started at 5pm and I sadly got to enjoy all of my runs
in my night gear.

We were the second van and this was a way fun race! We got to enjoy some great indoor sleeping, first, was in a community center and Eric and Leslie were able to snag us some sweet gymnastic mats so we didn’t have to sleep on the hard floor like all the other people, and second, we got the luxury of being close enough to go sleep at Leslie’s for a few hours before our 3rd legs, it was fantastic! Of course we didn't make it without a few bumps. We forgot the reflective vests so the night before we had to scramble up some of those. We encountered a flat tire, put the spare on and had to make it to a tire store before they closed... but that RAGNAR! We finished off with a celebratory dinner at Cheesecake Factory!
