Ragnar Relay 2008

2 vans, 12 people, 181 miles and 36 hours with no sleep - put all these together and you get the Ragnar Relay.

A 181 mile relay race from San Antonio to Austin. There is no one word to sum it up, but rather a million fun little memories....A tour of the Texas back roads in the wee hours, crossing cattle guards, dodging racoons, port o potty's in the middle of nowhere, a little AC/DC on Hell's Highway, waking up in a fire ant mound, running hills for the first time in months, passing men in red dresses, being Beaver Believer's...and best of all...watching the competition get RunDOWn!!

We came in 2nd overall and 1st in the Corporate Division...not bad for our first time out of the gates. thanks to all for the awesome memories, keep running...we have a Canon to win!! MOM
