well folks i went against my better judgement i agreed to run another ragnar race, the enticing part of this one? it happens to be in southern california. i mean really, how can you say no to that?
there were many times during ragnar las vegas i wondered to myself, "why in the heck does anyone run one of these races". it's the most emotional, exhausting, challenging, hot, uncomfortable thing i've ever done in my life.
so why am i doing it again?
because it was one of the best and most rewarding experiences i've ever had in my life.
it was so hard, and there were times i wondered if i was capable of finishing, but i finished..
i did something i literally didn't think i could do.
as i've started to train for the next installment i wondered once again why i decided to run.
then i remembered this moment....
it was the best moment of ragnar!
finishing my final leg.
aside from the fact that i was done running.
i had just finished something so physically and emotionally challenging.
as i turned my final corner, i saw my family waiting for me at the exchange point.
in my life i have never been as exhausted as i was in that moment.
heidi was waiting for me to hand off.
trent, jacob, and my dad were on the side lines cheering me on.
as i got to heidi she grabbed me and hugged me, tears came.
and all i could say was:
"i did it!"
and that is why i'm running ragnar again.
