And the shirt is really cute this year :) Can't wait to see Nugget in the Ragnar tee!<br /><br /><br />I am impressed you went THAT long without crashing in the van. I was reading this report... waiting for it. Hee hee. Being up for that long, no matter what you are doing, is super tiring... especially if you are pregnant!<br /><br /><br />I am happy you guys all had a good time and all the logistics worked out minus the water bottle issue :)kilax @ ilaxSTUDIOhttp://www.ilaxstudio.com/blog/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7005464141741044836.post-53643337602218229142013-06-11T14:47:21.120-05:002013-06-11T14:47:21.120-05:00Some of my best runs have been following a big tac...Some of my best runs have been following a big taco dinner, so Chipotle may not be the worst strategy.

(aka Amanda just posted that she's about to start running. Her leg is x miles long and if we estimate an x pace, she should be at the next exchange at x time.)<br /><br />The driving wasn't really confusing, once you figured it out. For example, exchange 1 was at the end of leg 1... so when we had a runner that was running leg 31, we had to get her to exchange 30. I like to think that I'm fairly good with directions and such so we never got lost, the water and Gatorade stayed nice and cold in the cooler, and we were able to help our runners when necessary.Kelly @ Running Kellometershttp://runningkellometers.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7005464141741044836.post-31948113468197965652013-06-11T09:21:02.690-05:002013-06-11T09:21:02.690-05:00I loved following along with you guys!
