Ragnar Relay Race

Last weekend, a team of 12 friends and I ran from Santa Barbara to Dana Point (about 180 miles) in the first Los Angeles Ragnar Relay Race. We had a great time, with each team member running three legs, ranging from 3 to 10 miles.  Our team name was Beauty and the Beasts (1 woman, 11 men); Beauty was our 2nd fastest runner! We placed 11th overall, 5th in our division. We were very pleased with our results. 

We had a brief rest-stop in Palos Verdes at the Thomas home (11:30 p.m. - 5:00 a.m.). And I had a couple of special friends meet me a the finish line (see below)! 

Ready to run my next leg of the race
