Ragnar Relay 2010

Ragnar Relay 2010

This is complete photographic record of the Ragnar Relay, taken minute by minute, from beginning to end…

except when I was wet, or cold, or hot, or sweaty, or changing

clothes, or sleepy, or eating, or using the Portopotty…

you get the idea.

From Chattanooga…

…to Nashville!

195.5 miles? 198.5 miles?199 miles? Lotta miles!

The vans, ready to roll.

Ragnar Bible and Rag-Tag…Ready.

The drivers, ready to roll.

The navigators, …ready?

Let’s hit the road!

Smile pretty, Runners!

Van 1 makes its first handoff to Van 2.

Vince shows his class by wearing a tie on Leg 6.

See that hill back there? It’s Mark’s destination.

The happy faces of Van 1.

Middle of the morning, and everyone’s already cold!

Rollin’ down the highway in Van 2

That was one heck of a hill. Sleet and rain were an added bonus.

It’s time for my leg ALREADY?

There’s snow in those clouds, Jannie!

There were always good times in Van 2!

Oh, yeah, there were those other 176 other teams out there…

But the Almost over the Hill

Rangers were the most loyal team out

there!

Richard was there for each of us at every exchange. What a guy!

The guys, always looking out for the next runner…

Jerry and Karen, ready for their teammates…

Classic Ragnar Handoff

Call it That Ragnar Feeling

The many faces of Van 2.

Yes, the many faces of Van 2…

Thanks to supportive teammates…

…there were plenty of distractionsalong the route.

Many,

Many,

Many,

Hours Later…

Like ships crossing in the night, Van 1 showed up to cheer for Van 2.

Still smiling at 6:00 a.m.

Is the sun ever going to rise?

Are we there yet?

This is the last time we would see Jerry for a long, long time.

Leg 33: The Map We Needed

Don’t

Turn

Here

Mike brings it home for the Almost Over the Hill team.

In the end, we all made it!

The Last 20 Yards Were the Easiest

Make Way for the Woman on Crutches!

We all snagged some Rag Swag!

Ragnar Relay, 2010.195 miles. 28.5 hours.

Pure fun.
