Well, we survived the Ragnar Relay (barely) and I have to say that it was quite an experience (the good with the bad). First of all, let me explain what a Ragnar Relay is. Think of it as a 188-mile party with your friends (or family, in my case). So we started in Logan, Utah and ran 188 miles to Park City! Can you hear the words that are coming out of my mouth?......I said 188 miles!!! Okay, I didn't run all of it myself but I did contribute 18 miles (a grueling 18 miles I might add) and losing one of my toenails was not the only souvenir I have. It was definitely fun and hard! Besides the 2128 foot elevation drop I made during one of my legs of the race (the cause of my missing toenail), the hardest part about the race was the sleep deprivation. We started the race at 8:00a.m Friday morning and finished the race on Saturday at 4:00p.m. and during that 32-hour period we got a whopping 1.5 hours of sleep! All in all it was a fun experience and we were voted "Most Favorite Team" by all the other 550 teams involved. We were quite a site to see as we came marching into the start of the race dressed like hillbillies to go with our team's name, "Scipio Hog-Callin' Time Runners", playing our jug-band instruments, and singing our best hillbilly tunes. We got everyone's attention real quick! For a good laugh, click here: http://www.vimeo.com/5469340
These are my in-laws, by the way, so don't judge! I'm totally kidding! I LOVE Brandon's family! ;-)
Run, Forrest, Run!

Jug band style!
Our stylish cars! What? It's an acronym for our team!
Chris, the funniest guy ever! (Those are fake teeth in case you're wondering!)

Kylie made some new friends--a team we met who wore huge bras over their clothes as they ran. There were some pretty funny teams!
Our team at the finish line!
