So Cal Ragnar Relay!!!

I talked all my siblings into doing the Southern California Ragnar Relay which was 203.5 miles long. It started in Huntington Beach, headed inland through Anaheim and Corona, hooked up with the 15 South until the 78 West then headed down the coast until Coronado Island. It was soooo much fun! Our team consisted of the following people: Wendy and Aaron Tibbitts, Aaron and Kenzie Quiggle, Julie Winegar, Stacy Roy, Kellie Bryson, Rob Harmon, Quent Heiden, Tony and Melissa and myself! Spencer Winegar was a driver for Van 1 and we had Kelsey Grover, Linda Harmon and her friend as volunteers (each team needs 3 volunteers to participate). The first day got up to 109 degrees! It was so hot that we ran out of water. We stopped to support each other a lot and walked more than planned that first day but better to go slower instead of getting heat stroke! Here are some pictures of our fun (the first half are mine and the professional ones are Linda's)!

 I'm getting some water from Tibbitts!
 There was hardly any shade on my run so whenever I found any I walked in it!
 The night and next day were beautiful so we did well those days. Rob almost done!
 Poor Tibbitts had to stop at a light right when he started.
 Go Team!
 Kellie's family came out to support us and they even dressed up! They are so much fun!
 Here I'm waiting for Kellie to come in so I can start my run. The very last one! Poor Kellie had to run an extra 2 miles because someone took a direction sign so she didn't turn when she was supposed to. We waited for about 20 minutes to give her water but no runners were coming by...then a whole group of people showed up so it wasn't just our team that had to do a couple extra miles.

Almost to the finish! I ran a total of 18.5 miles (my sister got sick so I ran part of her leg to add a few extra miles).
 The finish line at last! Everyone waiting for me then we all jogged in together. Our official team time was 33 hours 1 minute and 10 seconds.




 I love Rob's face in this picture!!
 A major night time exchange (major exchanges are when both Vans meet up and trade off the slap bracelet and minor exchanges are just to exchange the slap bracelet to another person in your van)

 We decorated our van and here is our team name, "Quiggle It, Just a Little Bit". There were so crazy names and crazy costumes for other people!

 I'm laughing hysterically because I am cold and not excited to do my last run. Sooooo tired.
