Ragnar Relay - Cumberland to DC (Page 12)

Rick, I haven't heard from Luis either. However, I did hear from our expected driver... yeah, he bailed. Are you okay with rotating drivers? It will give us one extra seat to stretch out... a bonus, I believe.

i love night running cuz i can't see the hills!!   

what are the MD and VA team names?

Email is not a good way to get in touch with Luis.  You can call him 443-538-7738.

MD is "Live Free or Tri Harder" - team #60

VA is "My Ath Ith Thor" - team #61

See everyone tmw

I'm fine with that.  Not a problem at all.

Luis checks his email like once a week, you have to call him.

It's probably more like once a month.

Good luck. I'm glad you were able to fill out your team.

I bought a headlamp today because I didn't want to subject anyone else's lamp to my sweat factory, but I do not own a vest and couldn't bring myself to purchase one since I will never be caught dead in one outside of this race.  Is that okay?

Yes, that's fine.  We can share. we just need a minimum of 1 per van.

Mmmmm...sharing nice sweaty vests sounds better.

Not sure why a vest is needed if we've got headlamps and a blinker on, but oh well.

And for all of you guys who are too cool to run 20 miles in a aero helmet and gloves... you oughta be ashamed.  If we want any chance at the costume contest, we're gonna need more than wife beaters.

Just trash talkin my own team here, since I don't own an aero helmet.

Given your propensity for pulling a Steve, I don't want to share your vest either.

George - we need a photographer for the finish ya know...



Josh is too excited to be sleepy.

Good luck, guys!  Have a great time.  :-)

Traci - let me introduce you to my SUV and this elevator shaft!

Todays the day... mmm... running... who needs sleep when you can run all through the night, yay.

I'm so jealous of you guys - wish I could be out there with you.  Legs 24 and 25 run right by/through my usual running routes.

Tough but interesting run!  The last legs were definitely challenging from a fatigue perspective.  Because our van was down a runner we ended up splitting extra legs.  Edeline did the first one, I did the second one and Shane did the third.  Ended up increasing each of our overall totals but we did the best that we could and tried not to come too far off of our projected times.  Kind of tricky when the projected pace is based off of a 6 minute runner for 20 miles.

But I think everyone did great and no real hiccups overall for the team!!  Congrats guys and it was a pleasure running with you all.  I'm sorry that I couldn't make it down for the finish.  Just too much with the kids and the house for me to get away.

To all my Ragnar teammates, thanks for a great time and great job.....you all rocked it!
Look forward to next year!
a special shout out to our fearless leader,Christy.  Your attention to detail allowed us to just run knowing everything else was covered.  Thank you!

I noticed when I got home ....... my shirt syas 189 miles and New England on it!!
