I ended up running RAGNAR Wasatch Back in June. One of the girls in my ward that I was friends with had joined a team with people she knew and knew that I had been running a bunch so I was asked to join. RAGNAR was another one of those oh-I-might-run-it-at-some-point-in-my-life-things but I am so glad that I did it. I had an absolute blast despite not a lot of sleep and not knowing anyone in my van initially.
I was in van 1 running leg 4 and the only person I knew prior was in van 2. I got picked up Thursday evening so we could head up to Logan and have a get-to-know-you dinner as the four guys in my van knew each but the other girl and I did not. We had pasta and pizza at Pizza Pie Cafe in Bountiful as the other girl lived in Bountiful and so we decided to get dinner there.
We ended up going close to closing time and as a result, we ended up with A LOT of free pizza. It ended up getting refrigerated overnight and brought out the next day. The pizza ended being a joke and us trying to pass it off to our runners and other team runners; hence, some of the pictures that feature pizza.
And as time went on, the pizza morphed into this.
We woke up bright and early as we had a start time of 7:15 AM.
And we are off!

Some of the lovely scenery we ran through.
Waiting for van 2 to finish up and arrive at the exchange point before we start running again.
And we are off for our second round! Plus an Energizer bunny sighting.
More exchange point pictures.

Not too shabby if I say so myself. Even though there was definitely not a lot of sleep involved, not nearly enough food either, some throwing up, lots of pizza, lots of talking, lots of driving in the van, and even way more running, it was an absolute blast and I would do it again in a heartbeat!
Van 1 and Van 2 at the finish line. We all ran in together with it being only the second time our whole team was together during Ragnar.
