The week has finally come; the Ragnar Relay is here! This Friday 12 of us will be joining forces to take a trek from the Huntington Beach pier down to San Diego, which ends up being 200 miles. Each runner will have 3 legs, with varying lengths and difficulties. For 24 hours one person will be running from our team non-stop until we reach our destination. We will sleep in vans, in parks, on the beach, or where ever else looks comfortable and hope for at least 2 -3 hours of sleep to get us through the race.
This is my and my team's first time participating in a relay race so we don't know exactly what to expect. I think most of us are just looking forward to the experience and the team camaraderie.
Here is a list of each runners legs:
