i finally gave in.

taylor and i
the team

last weekend i ran the ragnar wasatchback race from logan to park city. it was such a blast! i ran on a team comprised of mostly women from ogden. we called ourselves WOO (Women Of Ogden) and then later came up with a clever name called Blue Bayou (if you think about it hard it's pretty clever). We started at 4pm which was one of the latest start times. and finished in a record setting AND winning time of 21 hours 56 minutes. i got one hour of sleep and ran about 16 miles. my first leg was up trappers loop in pitch darkness. my second leg was around rockport and was actually a really nice run. my last leg was from the top of guardsman's pass down to deer valley, a steep 7.7 miles with one large hill thrown in there for extra fun. my legs are dead. and that large hill? i had to walk/jog up it. so embarrassing. all in all it was such a fun experience. i got to run with some of the best/most talented runners around. some people said it wouldn't be very much fun because our team is comprised of competitive people, but that is actually what made it so fun for me. i love competition.
