Go to ragnarrelaypwc.blogspot.com for fun tidbits about the race and our team membersThis past weekend Chris and I had the opportunity to be a part of a 12 man relay team. We raced from Logan to Park City covering 180 miles in 30 hours. This year just under 600 teams participated in the relay. PricewaterhouseCoopers sponsored us and the team consisted of Chris' colleagues and myself.
The actual race began a handful of years ago when a PWC employee was taking an entrepreneur class at BYU. He designed the race as part of a class project and after implementing it successfully, quit PWC and began doing this instead. There are several races throughout the nation and is becoming more and more popular.
Each one of us had three legs ranging from 3.1 to 8.5 miles each and differing in difficulty. I thoroughly enjoyed my experience. I didn't get more than a few hours of sleep in a 48 hour period but didn't feel it until I came home and crashed. We all ran the entire thing except for a couple of us that walked short snippets but really hardly anything. We all pushed ourselves to the max. What made it challenging was the high altitude, the heat, and the hills.
It was one of those experiences that we will be talking about for a long time and the funnest and hardest race I've participated in thus far.

You always have such great pictures. We saw one wave of runners go through Heber Saturday morning on our walk.
we thought about you guys and even speculated as to where you live. I seriously was amazed at how beautiful the Wasatch Back is and how pretty your city has become.
who ran in the sandles?!
lol. no one did!! in between legs we switched shoes. At the finish line van 1 had been waiting around for a while, so I'm sure some were just trying to relax.
Carson, some guys at the race were talking about a "Hood to Coast race". It starts at the top of mount hood and goes to the coast. You should look into it. Start a team and I'll fly up to join it!
By the way, Nancy, thanks for joining me. I had tons of fun spending the time with you and want to do it again soon. Thanks for the great pictures!
you took some awesome photos. you should make the album public or post the password so people can look at them individually
you go girl! I can tell that all the guys feet in the photo the all are hairy legs LOL. What an insperation you are I will have to try that some day I said some day don't push me baby steps.
Chris, that would require that I run...
Ah, I forgot about the rebar you had put in your leg as a secret weapon. Probably makes it a little more difficult to run.
way to go nancy and chris! I am proud and envious of the both of you! What wonderful examples you are to your boys! Great job! yeah!!!
Congrats guys! Sounds like fun (and hard work too, of course!)
