Ragnar Relay

Somehow, I got tricked into running the Ragnar Relay (the Wasatch Back - the Utah Relay).  It was a 191 mile relay from Logan, Utah to Park City, Utah.  It took our team 28 hours to complete.  We had 12 members on our team (2 vans with 6 member in each van).  It was quite the stinky, smelly, tired journey!

Our team name was DON'T PUNCH MY CAR (check out the video to understand the craziness:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=80entLldZOg        )

Our favorite team name besides our own (and there was a lot of great team names)

Finishing our 3rd leg...waiting for Van #2 to finish (notice there is no pictures of us during the middle of the night runs....way too tired)

Tim at his finest!
