Ragnar Cape Cod 2014?

10/4/2013

 
Picture
Two weeks ago, I joined my fiance, a few of her friends, and some new ones to run 196.2 miles from Saratoga Springs to Lake Placid.  I’m no stranger to endurance competitions (Ironman races, running relays, and other epically long races), but this time running was different. My goal wasn’t to smoke the competition or to rack up the most ‘kills’; it was simply to have fun.  Despite the somewhat amusingly, dysfunctional drivers and navigators that chronically challenged our van to reach the exchange points before our runners, the lack of sleep, the pervasive smell of Bengay and other topical pain-relief ointments, the experience was AWESOMELY FUN (or maybe it was because of those things...).  

Ragnar is an incredible team building experience that tests your mental and physical limits. Reminiscent of my former competitive self, I gave my all to each leg of the race (5.3, 4.1, 5.4 mi).  While Ragnar was taxing as an individual (lack of sleep, shower, and van space), my most memorable moments were the incredible camaraderie with my teammates, the creativity and spirit of Ragnar teams, and the beauty of the landscape!   

In any case, I am already looking forward to my next Ragnar adventure... Are any of you interested in joining a team to run Cape Cod?  Team 2014: All or nothing, Nothing in between.  Email me at royalexanderfit@gmail.com.
