RAGNAR


Ragnar is a running relay race with 12 people, 2 vans, 188 miles in two days. Each person runs 3 times and each van has 6 people so the first van of people run their legs and then they have a few hours rest while the next van of people run their legs. John ran it this last weekend and he did amazing, he ran all 3 of his legs (about 18 miles ) in 2 hours and 12 minutes (or so) He was the fastest on his team for sure :) The first one he started running at 4pm and was 6.9 miles, labeled as Very Hard. He ran downhill the whole way. His second leg was 8.1 miles and he started running at 2am, also labeled Very Hard. It was uphill most of the 8 miles. His last leg was 3.1 miles and he started running at noon it was labeled Easy, and it was flat the whole way.
John's team finished in 28 hours and got 73rd place out of over 500 teams. They did awesome! My aunt Janene, cousin Jody and cousin Ben were all on the team plus my mom's cousin Craig.
Way to go you guys you did amazing.
