Christi and Aimee did a great job decorating the vans!
potty anyone? I guess a few... Van 2 picked up for Van 1 around Bow I think. Van 2 was a teeny bit late as we were listening to the safety talk, Van 1 was getting ready to come in. Poor Sarah had to bust it to get her bib on and get out of there!
little pit stop for water...in the middle of her run
Aimee coming up the trail hill. Christine was her runner....they were doing an ultra so instead of 12 people their crazy team had 6 runners!!!! Each runner did two legs...in a row!!!! It was so cool though, normally we don't see them but for all of the first few legs, we were on the same transition schedule so we got to cheer them on too for awhile. Then....we pulled ahead - HA! Just kidding. There really is no comparing a RAGNAR ultra to a regular Ragnar. I can't even imagine being that crazy. I wasn't even crazy enough to get talked into the regular Ragnar!
Sarah coming up the hill, poor thing got lost on the trail, along with a few other people so she ran an extra mile or so...which makes a huge difference when you are running SO many miles to begin with. Glad she made it safely though.
Christi handing off to Curtis. Curtis and Jeff jumped in to save us at the last minute when we had people drop out due to injury. They were fun to have in our van, very fast runners, and were pretty easy going guys that can go with the flow...thank goodness!
Christi handed off to Curtis
The Champion....(cue we are the champion music in the background)
Curtis handing off to mom
off she goes...lookin good lady!
Mom handing off to Jeff
Off he goes. Boy could he pull out the speed when he wanted/needed to!
Jeff handing off to Andy
off he goes.....now our van will go to Chris Marti's house and rest for a few hours before we start up again in the morning in Coupeville to finish this thing off....
Sarah handing off to Christi
off she goes!
Christi handing off to Curtis
Curtis handing off to mom
Mom had some killer hills her last leg! She rocked it!
Curtis went for the next best thing to an ice bath...
Missed one...missed mom and Jeff? But here is Jeff to Andy heading out for the last leg. Van 1 was kickin back in Langley drinking some beer waiting for our van.
Here they come! Team Start Slow and Taper From There! Was an awesome experience! I am so glad we got some laid back people for our van that can take our craziness. And were fast. Kick ass fast. Amazing! Mid, Jill, Parker, Hailey and Heath came out to cheer as well! I didn't get any pictures of the night legs, though everyone who ran them absolutely loved running in the dark. I am thinking you have to love running in order to love running in the dark. Not.so.much. It turned out to be a rather warm day which was a challenge especially with some of the hills that were on the last part, but everyone did so well.
Chris and Sarah, looking great after what they've been through! Great job girls!!! No rest for the weary. Sarah had to go home and be mommy to 3 little ones with no break. Ugh. I went home and collapsed and slept from 7:30 p.m. until 10 Sunday morning. I do enjoy my sleep, don't like doing without it so much....
