It's gross looking, I know...even covered up. I have a matching one on my other foot. But the question is: was it worth getting?
Was it worth 34 plus hours in a car with 5 other fabulous women (Team Leader Alicia, Fasty Hillary, Team Motivator Michelle, Birthday Girl Lauretta and Ragnar Virgin Angela) and no real R.E.M. sleep?
Was it worth resting on a Thermarest pad and sleeping bag on a grassy area in both Morgan and Heber?
Was it worth running 15.5 miles (7 of which were on a rugged "trail rail" in the middle of the night all by myself under the moon, stars, chirping birds and other unknown creatures sounds?)
Was it worth eating a $5 Subway footlong in increments throughout the 34-hour period?
Was it worth regular and frequent trips to the Honey Bucket?
Was it worth sitting in sweaty, stinking clothes (sorry, team, I tried to change often)?
Was it worth paying $4 for the privilege of using a clean, flush toilet and taking a HOT shower, and getting dressed in the gym locker room of a middle school in Heber?
Was it worth seeing all of the crazy costumes and reading the crazy things other people wrote on their vans?
Was it worth seeing our husbands, family members and friends at the finish line?
Was it worth the Fat Boys, free pizza and MEDAL when we were finally all done?
The answer is a big, fat resounding: YES!
Thank you RUN, WALK, CRAWL team for another fabulous Ragnar experience. See you next year!
