Friday night took a turn weather-wise and we were hit with some pretty bad thunderstorms. The relay was put on pause for about four hours due to lightening. We took this as an opportunity to get some sleep and just hunkered down in our tents. Thankfully, we were able to start again around 4 a.m.
While the worst of the weather was over around sunrise Saturday morning, our nerves were a little frayed. We still had a lot of running to do!
With the rain delay, we were worried we wouldn’t be able to finish all of our legs. Thankfully, the race organizers let teams begin to double up their runners so all the teams could finish on time. So many of us were able to run together in our final runs.
When the last group of runners set out to finish the last loop, they were in for a sight. As the trail took them by the water, there just so happened to be an alligator! Needless to say, our girls were shocked to see it. We had been obsessing about seeing one for weeks and didn’t believe we would. We were wrong!
And there you have it! Eight women came together and had a weekend they won’t soon forget. We started out as strangers but left as sole sisters!
We are Ragnarians!
What a fantastic journey of badassery!!! A Ragnar trail is definitely on my bucket list.
Love this! Way to go, ladies!! <3
