You all know about my love for Ragnar, having done SoCal in April
and my ultra plans for the Ragnar Las Vegas this November .....
Weeeeeeellllll.....I have a wee announcement.
I am off to New Yawk to go join Bondi Band for Ragnar Adirondacks
in 10 frigging sleeps
I am off to New Yawk to go join Bondi Band for Ragnar Adirondacks
in 10 frigging sleeps
There are 6 runners. Not the usual 12 -- Hot diggity Day-em!
Pretty sweet deal...I was chatting with Bondi about Vegas and all of a sudden I have an invitation to run another Ragnar - race entry, van rental and hotel all covered. AND some free gear and nutrition and hydration product from sponsors, In the words of Bondi "Just show up and be ready to run! C'mon it'll be fun!" (huh...Bondi my running enabler -- AWESOME!) How could I say no!
And as luck would have it I happened upon a SUPER cheap flight to Albany, new York at the last minute. And, since I have being running back to back runs to prep for Vegas, so I am ready to ROCK. It is pretty exciting...I have never been to this part of the world. And I think its gonna be beautiful!
Soooo. Yeh. The running part. I will be the 6th and final runner. I am pretty stoked to know I will run into Lake Placid. With 6 runners instead of 12, we do twice the miles. Essentially I am runner 11 and 12. I'll start with 11.7 miles. Then have an easier leg of a bit over 5 miles and finish with a bit over 10 miles!
| 11 | 6.30 miles | Hard | 1.90 miles | Easy | 2.80 miles | Easy | 11 miles |
| 12 | 5.40 miles | Moderate | 2.70 miles | Easy | 7.50 miles | Hard | 15.6 miles |

ReplyDeleteYou will rock this. You're one of the "strongest" people I know. You may not be the fastest runner (And I mean this respectfully) but you sure have determination and dedication. That's something to shout from the rooftops. Not everyone has your strong. Have fun!
