Just a few more Ragnar pics...

Amazingly out of about 365 teams overall, we (Electric Mayhem) came in 13th. And out of just the mixed open regular teams we came in 1st. Yeah for our awesome team! During this relay, I have to admit I was really proud of myself. For each of my 3 runs, I had my fastest recorded pace for an outside run. My pace was between 7:41-7:45 min/mile for each leg. This gives me motivation to work harder and push the limit. I felt great, except for maybe leg 3 when my legs felt heavy. David paid me a great compliment and said I looked strong out there. It was also exciting to see a runner in the distance,to catch them and then pass them.
David geared up for his night run. 

Amy and Kristin

Is this not gorgeous!  

Jeff K. and I.  Jeff may or may not have run one of his legs in only underwear and then in an attempt to moon us as we drove by, mooned the poor lady that was running about 10 feet behind him.

Jeff A. on the beach at the end of my third leg which happened to end with a 100 ft climb up the sand which peaked on the beach overlooking the ocean.  It was a beautiful place to end, but kind of a cruel way to end a run when your legs are already spent.  I guess I should be glad it was only 100 ft.  Ken had to run an entire mile on the sand for the last part of a leg.  And, we are not talking packed, hard sand.  It was loose, can't get good traction kind of sand.

David gutting through his last run with an injured calf. 

The team.  

Amy and Kristin.  These two were our veteran Ragnar runners.
