Wasatch Back Ragnar Race

Last week me and Sam ran in the Ragnar Wasatch Back Relay Race. It goes from Logan to Park City, a total of 188 miles. It was a lot of fun and a lot of hard running! After being crazy enough to do the one in Vegas, my work got two teams together for the Wasatch Back race. Our team name was Striptease-yes it is medically related. We had fun, laughter, and no sleep in our van. Sam ran leg 9, one of the hardest legs and did so well! I was so proud of him! He ran 3.5 miles around Pineview, 9.5 miles at 3 am, and then 3.6 miles up the first half of a massive mountain called "The Ragnar". I ran while being 4 months pregnant. Yes we are expecting a boy in December, in case I haven't told ya yet! I ran leg 12 which was up Snow Basin road 3.1 miles, 6.5 miles through Oakley, and 5.1 miles to the finish line in Park City! My last leg was so awesome! It was sunset and I had the best scenery around me! I'm so glad I did it and am SOOO glad its over. My bladder can't take anymore running for a while! We thought we had lost our camera after the 1st leg, so I don't have too many pictures. Luckily we found it in the van after the race! Hopefully we can do this crazy relay race again next year!
