Father's Day Wishes

Father's Day Wish List:

Running Shoes, Running Glasses, Run the Wastach Back-Ragnar RelayRyan & Jeff
Here is how the Wasatch Back is supposed to work-- 12 members on a team, 6 in each van, each run 3 legs alternating vans (van 1 all run their first leg, then van 2 each all run their first leg, etc), you rest while the other van is running then pick up where they finish and start your next leg; the race starts in Logan and finishes in Park City.

Beautiful views from one of Ryan's legs

I got a call from Ryan at about 5:30 pm on Friday, just about the time his van (van 2) was supposed to pick up where their first van had finished to start running their first leg. He was calling from Far West to tell me their van had broke down at a Maverick and they had been sitting there for 3 hours waiting for a replacement from the rental place. Ryan is that little reflection running on the side of the road

Van 1 would now have to run all their legs and consequently they would be running 2 legs back to back, all through the night, from 9 pm to 8 am the next morning. There would be no sleeping and they all would be adding additional miles than they had been scheduled to run. Oh, and they would be doing it in the rain.

Jason (Ryan's boss) hands off to Jeff

Jeff begins one of his legs Travis (Ryan's other boss) meets Jeff along his leg with some water

Jeff finishes and prepares to hand off to Ryan (that hill looks pretty steep!)The Brothers Hand Off Ryan topping the RAGNAR (steepest hill of the race)

7% incline to this breathtaking view

Ryan hands off to Travis after finishing his last and hardest leg of the race

He came home very sore, very tired, and swearing he wasn't going to do it ever again...I think I remember him saying this in past years. Way to go Honey. We missed you while you were out there killing yourself.
