Subject: Hey girls - want to run Ragnar?

One of my teammates dropped out this week and we need another runner for the Ragner Great River Relay.  It must be a female - sorry guys.

We need to cover Runner 4.  The runs consist of 8 miles (moderate), 5 miles (easy), 4.3 miles (moderate).  To see the routes, go to this page: http://www.ragnarrelay.com/greatriver/coursemaps  And click on the 3 links below Runner 4.  That said, I am sure we could swap things around to accommodate a runner who needs a different set of legs.   This particular set of legs is right in the middle, as far as difficulty and length goes.  I am sure most of you could handle this.

The event is Friday-Saturday, August 21-22, but since you'd be in the first van you would have to either stay overnight in LaCrosse or drive there very early on Friday morning.  Our team is pretty slow, so we will likely have a 7 or 8 AM start time.

I am in the 2nd van (runner 12), so we probably would barely see each other.  Not sure if that's a good or bad thing   But if you wanted to do it, but only if you can be in my van, I will work on swapping things if possible.

It's $100 to register.  Other fees would include chipping in for van rental, providing or paying for a volunteer, and food, etc. 

That's all I can think of for now.  Please ask any questions.  Don't hesitate to say yes if you don't know me, aren't sure you can do it, etc.  If you're interested - let's talk.

(Kelly you are not allowed to do this!  I need you as a volunteer )

Yes!  Let me know.  As far as I know, no one else has ponied up.

As much as I would *love* to run 17+ miles (because I soooo love running), since I'm already on the volunteer crew, I best not.

There is video from my college days somewhere (hopefully somewhere buried really deep) of me on stage in front of a few hundred people all dolled up in my rollerblades while wearing my girlfriend's dress for a skit in which I played Nancy Kerrigan. Now that I shave my legs I'm sure I'm an even more convincing chick.

All I'm saying is if nothing else pans out I'm here to help...

If you would LOVE to run that much we could maybe look into a replacement volunteer so that you could lace up those shoes at Ragnar

John - I'm sure you make a lovely girl.  I actually think they should be open minded and switch to a mixed team, but I'm not in charge here.

Joe - are you volunteering???

Honestly I don't even know when it is, but I did send a message to my wife to see if she would be interested.  I told her that she'd have to look up all the details of when the race is and if she's working that weekend.

 

Also, if Johnny runs it as a girl I will be there to take the video and I can assure you it won't be buried deep anywhere.  YouTube!!!!!
