RaGnAr


Last week Tyler was able to join a Ragnar Relay team at the last minute (literally). He wanted to sign up with his work's team but it cost a lot of money so we decided to wait until next year. Well this team (Flash Hazard) lost a runner at the last minute and really needed a sub so Tyler was able to run! He had soooo much fun, I was glad he could go after-all.

Here are their stats:
They ran 188.2 miles in
29hrs 7minutes 21seconds

They placed
200th out of 984 teams (not too shabby!)

If you don't know about Ragnar, it's a relay race from Logan to Park City along the Wasatch Back that benefits the American Cancer Society. They have 2 vans with 6 runners each- someone on the team is running all the time starting Friday morning and ending Saturday morning! (There are some psychos on "ultra" teams who have only 6 runners but run the same race.) They sleep in vans/outside/at schools...it's pretty nuts. We went to Park City to see them finish and the boys got to run the last little bit with them across the finish line- it was pretty neat!


Mia patiently waiting...


The sunburn/sleep deprivation/soreness has not set in yet-

With the team...can you see him?
Crossing the finish line! (Boo-someone was right in front of our picture) It is labeled for your convenience...

The car ride home

It's starting to catch up to him here...
