RAGNAR is now officially over. It was wet, fun, and painful all at the same time. We dug deep out there! I did a total of 32 miles...we had a man down and we all covered his race legs for him!! For now...I am hanging up my Brooks Adrenalines, they have 350 miles on them! Will order a new pair and then its on to training for the Hyannis Half-Marathon in February.

More details about the race to come in another entry once we get all the pictures settled and dispersed. Until then: Thanks to our sponsors:

@brooksrunning, the Twitter presence of Brooks (www.brooksrunning.com)
for giving us ALL of clothing and shoes. Having 3 complete running outfit was huge, because it was wet and rainy alll night and day!

Zensah (www.zensah.com)
for hooking us up with 2 pairs of compression calf sleeves each! This was a big component of recovery between legs...it was like running on fresh legs after wearing these!!!

sooo

this is it, race time! Justin is picking me up at 9AM tomorrow morning and then we will be ON OUR WAY! After months of talking about it, can't believe its here. Thats what everyone says though! In reality...I "tapered" this week, did my last long run on Sunday (2.5 hours split up for a total of 19miles), had a minor OHMYGOSHIMGETTINGSICK breakdown yesterday, slept pretty much all day and am now feeling brand new. And ready to go.

I am teetering on that line..you know the one. On one side is trained to the brim-ready to race and as fast as youve been...and on the other side is exhaustion and being sick. Im on the line and ready.

You can follow this shebang on twitter by searching for #BrooksRagnar...we will of course be tweeting through the entire thing. I should be running around 5pm, 2am, and 9am (ish), 27.4miles total, so keep me in your thoughts!!
