Ragnar Relay

Before I found out my knee had torn cartilage, I had signed up to do the Ragnar Relay with my mormon boys. After figuring out that my knee would not let me run, Eric and I decided that we would just volunteer, while everyone else ran. We arrived in Vegas around 2 am, and woke up at 4:45 am to go to our volunteer spot. Then we set-up the station. 

They had a pancake breakfast - $5 for all you can eat - so in between setting up stuff, Eric would run in and get his pancakes, then come back and get some more. 

 A break after setting up orange tape all over

 Our station was to announce the runners as they came in. Here you can see their groups are waiting for them to come in so they can switch runners.

 Announcing the teams... I only got to do this about three times before our shift was over. It was quite fun though!

 The runners run in between those gates, pass off to the next runner, and then they leave.

 After our shift, Eric and I were SO tired - we didn't get any sleep. So we went to Costco to get gas, and shop around to waste some time, and when we got out of the car, there was this nice, cold, shady spot... and we laid down and rested.

 After Costco, we went to the Bellagio fountains. Every time I've gone to Vegas, I've missed the fountains for one reason or another - and this time, I wasn't doing that! So here we go! :)

 Then we went to the airport to fly off to WA for Alexa's reception. 

Stay tuned.
