Ragnar Relay

. The race starts in Blaine and Ends in Langley and covers

185 miles. Yes, that's a team of 12 people in two vans,

racing other teams to the finish. Each of us ran 3 legs

each during the course (some did extra credit). We started on Friday

morning at 9am and crossed the finish around 1pm the next day. Even

though we referred to ourselves as a bunch of slackers, we still

averaged a 9 min/mile pace. Our vans were decorated with sayings

such as "We trained on the WII," "No, you go ahead," "We stop and

eat the roses," and "You can run for us."

I do have to say that the course was extremely well marked and

one of the most well-organized & supported races that I've been

in. The "competitors" during the relay were very supportive and

helped cheer you on (or give you a much needed bottle of water).
