A short race recap for now. If I get some time I will expand on the race weekend but for now, Ragnar was absolutely amazing! This is the third year I have made the trip to Southern California to run with the Endurance Planet Ragnar team. Every year has been a blast and this year was no different.
Their initial plan was to have a standard team and an an ultra team. I was signed up for the ultra team. Due to a few last minute cancellations the ultra team was cancelled and they kept the standard team.
One of the reasons I love running with this team is that there are no expectations for pace or placement but everyone pushes themselves to their absolute limit.
Our first runner went out fast and that set the tone for the rest of the race, as usual. Everyone beat their expected times and we finished with an Endurance Planet best time of 23 hours and 42 minutes. I’ve run Ragnar here in Utah quite a few times and of course run 2 previous time in Southern California with this team but this is the first time I have been on a team that went under 24 hours. It was so much fun! I have to say it was really nice starting at noon and finishing in time for lunch. There wasn’t much time to sleep but it was all worth it.
