Ragnar Tomorrow


For those of you that don't know, we are running the Wasatch Back Ragnar Relay starting tomorrow morning (Friday) at 7:30. We'll be getting up at 4 a.m. (gross) to drive 2 hours north to Logan Utah where the race begins. Here's a description from the race website:

"Think of it as a 188-mile party with 12 best friends. Teams of 12 will rock out to live bands, enjoy the wacky participant costumes, and make life-long friends with teammates and competitors. Teams will party along the backside of the beautiful Wasatch Mountains from Logan (85 miles north of Salt Lake City) to Park City, Utah (15 miles east of Salt Lake City)."

It should take us approximately 30 hours to complete, so by 1 p.m. local time Saturday we should be pretty exhausted and super hungry. Not to worry, we'll have our camera with us at all times and will be posting pics (and maybe video) by the end of the weekend.

Here's a pretty good youtube video to explain the whole experience.



We've been training for months and are super pumped to start, we'll be running the race with 10 other people from our residency program and are hoping to make it into a yearly tradition. Wish us luck!!!
