Highlights:
- Got to meet the HBO Ragnar crew and spend some quality time with my van-mates. Starting to think I may have been hired primarily because of my willingness to run long distances on little to no sleep
- Solid fan support, unique sites and beautiful views, even once I got back home
- Got to learn from experienced Ragnarians who know how to stock up on the essentials and focus on the most important parts of the event
Low-lights:
- Took 1.5 hrs to get our van off of the island of Manhattan Thursday evening, easily the worst pace our team maintained all weekend
- 24 runners, 6 hotel rooms, 2 beds per room…you do the math
- Talked a huge relay bracelet exchange game. Totally botched the final hand-off.
Thanks:
- To Dave Pugh for connecting me with team and to the HBO Ragnar crew for welcoming me aboard
- To my Henlee, Kathy, Taylor, Erin and Mallory for living in a van with me for 48 hours and remaining friends by the end of the event
- To Shannon for driving out to PA for the finish, acting as un-official team photographer and driving me back home even though I hadn’t showered in two days
