Ragnar Relay 2011

All the girls on our team!
So fun to see the whole family at the finish line!
Missed my running buddy this year!

The starting line

What a year for Ragnar! It was really fun! It always is - though it seems the more I do it the more tired I am afterwards! This year we were able to have an "all girl" van which we've never done before! Aaron and I had started off the year saying we were going to take a break but when I heard of the plan for an all girl van and that Tracie was coming in for the race, I gave in! The one sad thing for this year was not running with Aaron! I missed him! We've done the last 3 years in the same car! Hopefully we'll be able to run together again - and we want to run with our kids too! But I'm not making an announcement for next year - we might try out the Rainier to Ruston Relay which is shorter - that would be a great way to break in the boys.

On our team, "Tag You're It", this year was Van #1: Myself, Becky, Tracie, Coleen, Dixie (Coleen's sis) and Jeanie (love you guys! So much fun!) and in Van #2: Brett and JoLynn (team captains), Suzanne and Michael, and Bianca and Dave. I was able to run the same legs as the past 2 years - they changed the course a bit (I think there were more hills on my 1st leg, if that was possible!) - but I loved running the long one first, and then having 2 shorter ones. We had perfect weather - cooler than in years past which was so great! Thank you all for another great year!
