Ragnarly

Last week I ran the Ragnar Wasatch Back with Malia and her girl friends. I have done this race 3 times now, and I have to say this year was by far the hardest. I have never done anything so emotionally hard. I was so blessed to have leg 9 on the team. Leg 9 consisted of having a 3.5 extremely hot run, 9.6 mile run and 3.4 mile run/hike up a mean mean mountain. The 9.6 was a piece of cake. I ran about 2am next to a reservoir so the temperature was perfect. PERFECT!! I could have ran all night, sorta. My last leg however, was death. I swear someone was trying to kill me, oh wait, no it was just me that was trying to kill me. Suicide. I honestly thought about laying on the dirt covered road and allow a car to roll over me. I wanted to stop. I didn't think it would end. When the finish line came into view I decided to sprint for it. I was done, and the faster I went the faster I would be done. As I sprinted, I thought my legs were going to give out. When I passed off the baton I crumpled over and held back tears of pain. HAHA I can't believe I almost cried, but I did. I never want to do it again. Those are the words that I said. Malia told me that's what having a baby is like, you are so happy you are done and over with it you start to cry. Well, I don't know if I want to have a baby...right now anyway. All in all it was a fun race and I met some really awesome ladies. I ran with some speed demons and I realized I have a lot of speed work to do. Maybe in a couple of months I will think about doing another race like this again, until then, I'm just going to stick to my Triathlons.

Oh, PS Leilani and I competed in our first Tri of the season and we both received a medal, Leilani took first and I took a proud second!

The Wonder Women

Our Triathlon ps, I have never gotten a medal before. It has been my goal to get any podium place. I was one happy girl that day.
