WASATCH BACK

Kevin and I along with 10 other crazy people completed the Wasatch Back Ragnar Relay Race. 12 people on a team run 3 seperate legs of 188 miles from Logan to Park City. Sounds insane doesn't it? Well let me tell you it was the hardest, dumbest, and most brutal thing I have ever done. Will I do it again? Absolutely!

Kevin's first leg was 3.5 miles running along Pineview Dam. Mine was a 3.8 mile steep climb up Snow Basin.


Kevin's second leg was a long dark stretch of 7.7 miles through Wanship. Mine was a gorgeous 7.3 mile view of Rockport Dam in the early morning.

Our third and final leg Yahoo! Kevin ran what is consider one of the hardest legs. It is a 4 mile straight climb up the mountain. It was brutal and he did awesome. What a trooper!


Mine was 7.3 miles descending down the back side of that mountain dropping into Park City. Not only was it a steep descent ( with a few added uphill climbs for fun) , it was pouring rain. The tempature was freezing, the rain was pouring, the wind was howling, and it was lightning as well. I don't think I have ever been that cold in my life. It was so hard but despite all that was against me I made it!




THE FINISH! Team #408 Are We There Yet?

Our entire team did an awesome job. Although I went 41 hours without sleep, endured many miles of running and battled a rough storm, I had so much fun. We had a great team and all should be proud of what we accomplished. Great job everyone!

I drug all my sisters and my mom to the Morgan 5k. It was so fun to be able to do a race together.

Camping

After a long winter we were finally able to take our new trailer out and go camping. We went up to Wasatch State Park. It was great weather and we had a nice weekend camping as a family. Saturday morning I ran a 10K by Bridal Veil Falls. It was absolutely gorgeous. I recommend that trail for any hiker, biker, runner, or walker. The rest of the day we rode bikes, played in the dirt, relaxed, and sat by the fire. It was a great weekend.
