I am still alive. You might not think that is a very meaningful statement, but if you knew what I experienced this last weekend, then you would realize that this is a very important statement. My family and I ran the Wasatch Back relay in the Ragnar Relay Series. We have been training since January and we survived!!! It took our team of 12 runners 32 hours to run the 188 miles course. It was so awesome and it was totally worth all the hard work and preparation. We had a blast and surprisingly enough, almost all of us want to do it again. This picture of Burdette says it all. WE DID IT!!
Clay's Stats:Leg 1: 5.1 miles
Leg 2: 4.2 miles
Leg 3: 3.8 miles
Clay did so good. I have to be honest, I was really worried about him. He did awesome and he didn't even need to call the paramedics!!
Clay being worried!
This is Clay showing the Ambulance who's the boss! He didn't need it after all!
Clay's the man! Way to go honey!!
RoseAnna's Stats
Leg 1: 5.6 miles
Leg 2: 4.9 miles
Leg 3: 7.9 miles (up the side of a mountain!)
I honestly don't know how I survived that last leg!
This is me looking totally awesome while running!!
Our team of 12 runners was split into 2 vans. In our van we had my cousin Collin, Clay's cousin Catlin, Me, Clay, Burdette (my brother) and Collin's cousin Seth. We had a blast taking turns driving and running.
Here is Seth, Burdette, Collin and Me being so grateful for the Honey Buckets. I never thought I'd be so happy to us a port-a-potty.
Here is Seth, Catlin, Burdette and Collin waiting to cheer on Clay as he comes up a hill!

Here is our van members (minus Catlin) with our medals at the finish line!!
And finally, here is a picture of Clay and me right before I ran for the first time. It was honestly the coolest thing we have ever done!! I know it sounds crazy, but it was really fun.
Clay, Seth, Carrie (my cousin), Becca, Katrina, Emily (Becca's friend)
Michael (my cousin), Jeremy, Collin, Me and Burdette
Here's the whole team (minus Catlin) after the big finish. Our team was "12 Peas in a Pod" and our slogan was "Give Peas a Chance" hence the green shirts.
And finally, here is a picture of Clay and me right before I ran for the first time. It was honestly the coolest thing we have ever done!! I know it sounds crazy, but it was really fun. We're doing the Las Vegas part of this race in October if anyone want to join in :)
GO PEAS!!
