Ragnar 2011

From top left to right: Timmy Boy, Brennon, Big Tim, Brennon, Becky, and Adam

Last year my brother-in-law's, Brennon's, accounting firm decided to put together a Ragnar team of accountants from the firm, but funny how things turn out... Only 3 people from the firm actually ran, and the rest was filled by family, friends, and (ha, ha, ha!) a whole bunch of Mormons.



But that's okay... Timmy Boy and Big Tim fit right in. We had a blast running around 200 miles of relay together, driving, getting hardly any sleep, and snacking on goodies that Amber got for us. There were 12 members total with 2 vans with 6 runners. We were Van #2.


We lucked out. An old friend Calob Boone joined our group with his fiance, Jenny. She is a sweetie and a half and was kind enough to be our designated driver after working a night shift and getting only 3 hours of sleep.

Exchanged took place by slapping a cool little band on the next team memeber. And yes, we ran through the entire freezing night.

But lack of sleep, freezing weather, and running many many miles did not take the smile off these boys. :)





And Finally! after 2 days of running... We made it!

So I just looked up the Ragnar Relay. Holy Moly 197 miles! That is crazy. Does that mean each of you run 16 miles? That is huge!
