Van #2 is almost done!!!
Tres just ran into Exchange 34 after a sunny little run along the Potomac and through the concrete jungle of GW Parkway, 110, 50, Army-Navy Drive and the rest of the highway mess in Arlington!!!
Nathan is off for his final leg...as soon as he picks up the 'baton'...c'mon boys...you've had 2 successful handoffs...what are you doing dropping the bracelet on #3???
Wait...I guess 34 legs of cumulative team sweat is a valid excuse...yep...this race is gettin RAGNARLY!!!
Run on!!!
She's just celebrating 15 years...
Meanwhile, TBR is celebrating completing 34 legs!!!
Yep...there was a crowd taking quinciera pictures just steps away from Exchange 34 in Crystal City...
Mary is about to get started with her second leg...
Van #2 is ready to wrap this up and go get some SLEEP!!!
The Blog Can't Handle...

there's no "I" in Ragnar!
On leg 19 as I ran under full moon and with smell of cow pasture wafting across the road, I was reminded of how many great people make up the Ragnar experience.
- Captain Jimmy woke us up after a restful 42 minute nap in order to get me to the start on time
- Van 1 laid down a blazing 4 hour set and inspired me to throw down at 12:45am.
- Colin and Bill from teams unknown paced alongside me for awhile, extra helpful in the creepy, pitch black country roads
- my awesome van stopped for a dance party in the middle of a killer hill. Tres kept me hydrated in between staying alert enough to drive.
- the good folks at the Creamery provided some mint chocolatey goodness as i finished.
Manyyyyy thanks to each and every one of you!
It hurts more than before, but still so good. EW

delusional? nah!
van 2 is contemplating the prospect of doing an ultra Ragnar next year. Ask us if we still think it's a good idea in about 12 hours....EW
Someones been ragnared!!
ragnar-ly leg!
I think it was the moment when a gnat flew up my nose and I spit it out a second later that I knew this was no ordinary race.... nearly 95degrees as I climbed 1100 ft through forest and farm. Once I ran by a house with a swing on the front porch. I almost stopped for a nap, but decided to run past the guy in front of me instead as he was walking up a hill. Because pride feels better than well- rested legs, and victory tastes sweeter than arctic blue gatorade. It hurts so good. EW
