Race: Las Vegas Ragnar (18.2 Miles) 01:32:00, Place overall: 120
Total Distance

18.2 miles in two days of running the Ragnar Vegas. I really don't like not getting my sleep but, Ragnar is a lot of fun and you make a lot of new friends along the way. Out team, "Lloyd is Awesome" finished in as 120th position out of 423 teams running. Not bad for a split 6 pak team from all over the place. I'm sorry this is a very brief race report, but I ran this LV Ragnar so I could get my "Saints and Sinners" medal for running the Wasatch Back Ragnar and Vegas this year......been there, did that and got the medal.....

It was 28 degrees out there this morning, so I decided to take a rest/recovery day. I will start my return to training Thursday morning.
