Ragnar Relay

This last weekend I ran in the Ragnar Relay for the fourth year in a row. This year I was runner 11. Our team name was Lovely Bunch of Coconuts. We finished in 28 hours and 49 minutes and placed 77th out of the 331 teams in our division. We got off to an interesting start. We met up with Keri and Scott at the McGrath's in Layton. We were going to use Keri's suburban as our "van" for the next 24 hours. When we got there gas was pouring out of her gas tank. I have never seen anything like it. Matt ran to Auto Zone and returned with supplies to fix the hole in the tank. Matt plugged up one hole and the gas just came out another. Luckily, Jen, Scott's wife was nice enough to let us use her SUV. Within 5 minutes she was at McGrath's and we were on our way. The race went pretty smooth after the gas tank incident. Van 2 - Keri, Scott, Brittany, Julia, Tara, and Eric

Most of our team - Jeff, Jen, Joy, Rex, Dawn, Chantelle, Brittany, and Eric. It was pouring rain!
