I competed in the 2011 Wasatch Back Ragnar, a 36-hour relay race across the peaks of the Wasatch Mountain Range. It runs from Logan to Park City, Utah, and totals 191 miles. We started Friday morning at 7:15 am, and finished around 4 the next day. The slogan is "Run, Eat, Sleep (?), Repeat." It's pretty true to form; a van-full of sweaty bodies jumping in and out of the car to provide race support, run an extra leg, and beat the traffic in time for a slap-stick handoff, all while trying to doze in the bumpy back seat. A blast.

I wasn't able to cross the finish line with my team, I had to head out after my last leg to make the baptism of my nephew, so this picture, and medal, is the entirety of my celebration.

What courage and stamina you have to do this. You have to have the most endurance in the whole family.
When they make a 2 mile Ragnar, I'll run with you. You can take the first 1.5 miles, and I'll finish off the last 1/2 mile.
But no uphill. :)
