'The Fast and Delirious' Las Vegas Ragnar - 2009

What a great experiance. I was so glad that my friend, Debi invited me to run with her and her team. I met a lot of awesome people and completed a challenge which has left me eager and excited to meet new challenges.


Me- On my way to begin my first run.
Next to me is one of my fellow running friends, Dave and his wife, our driver, Monica.



The end of my first run.........phew!!!
If you notice the sign on the left-
Yep! Thats right, I was running throught the Valley of Fire and it was HOT!!!


Here are the runner's that made up car #2
Stacy, Dave, Me, Debi, and Julieen. We also had Chris, who is not in the picture because he was running his heart out up a giant hill at the moment. (poor thing)

Here we are at the exchange station our cars turn was over and car #1 was starting their second runs. This a me and Troy.
Troy handed off to me in the relay. He was the last to run in car #1 and I was the first to run in car #2.
He got in a 4-wheeler accident a few days before the race and hurt his shoulder pretty bad, but determined to run anyway he made a sling out of bandana's and took some loratab and hoped for the best........I guess that's one of the many reasons why we were called
The Fast and DELIRIOUS.



Dave handing off to Debi. At night we had to run with lights and vests.





This is Julieen. She is such an awesome person and a kick butt runner.
I was glad to have met her.




The morning of our final run. Deb, Me, Stacy and Julieen showin off our toughness!!!






Last hand off of the race........




This is Chris. Its all thanks to him we had a place to get some sleep during the night. He lives in Vegas and let us crash at his house for a few hours while van #1 was running their final runs.



The finish line. Yea!!! We made it through the TOUGHEST fun ever! Our team at the finish line. With the exception of Chris and another Vegas runner, who had family things going on and had to cut out early.




Me and Ryan's Friends, Luke and Debi.
