Ragnar Relay

Last Fall, a few members from That Team participated in an event called the Ragnar Relay.  It is about a 200 mile run that is split amongst 12 people (or 6 for those amazing marathon runners) and that takes 36 hours or so to complete.  This year, even more of our team members decided to challenge themselves with this ultimate relay which took place this past weekend.

Our team's name was TONY'S TIGERS, a play on Tony Horton's name (creator of P90X) as well as our team's initials "TT".  As Tony Horton always says, "Bring it!" our team's motto was "BrrrIIIINNNG It!!" using the same sound as the Frosted Flakes' tiger's "GrrrrEEAAATTT".  Haha, cute, we know.

Seriously though, not only is it physically difficult for those on our team who are not runners but sleep deprivation really got to us all.  In short, Ragnar is no joke.  As I did last year, instead of running with the group I decided to volunteer.  It was hard work but it was so much fun, especially with That Team's members Celina and Taria with me!  I guess you could call us volunteers crazy too because our volunteer shift was from 11PM-5AM.  Yeah.

Here are a few pictures from this year's Ragnar Relay:

RUN. DRIVE. SLEEP? REPEAT.

The 3 Volunteers -- Celina, Taria, Steph

I don't know how Taria managed to stay cute... but she did!

After taking about a 3 hour nap, we showered and met up
at the National Harbor where the finish line was.

We also met up with Van 1's runners (the real runners haha)

Hanging out and cheering for other teams at the finish line.

SBs reunited -- Love, Truth, Balance

Once the race was over, we got free pizza and beers to celebrate.
All of the runners got medals as well.
