Ragnar Northwest Passage

It's been quite some time since Ragnar Northwest Passage happened, and I'm still having a hard time figuring out how I want to recap it other than writing IT WAS THE MOST FUN WEEKEND EVER and end the post there. Ragnar really was the best weekend ever. It definitely made my Top 10 Best Times of my Life list. This is not a documented, official list, but I know this relay trumps other experiences I've had, especially in the past few years.

Nuun Kids on the Block
I seriously have attempted to write this recap 4 times and I just can't get it right, so I'm going to keep it short and sweet with the following:
  • THANK YOU to Nuun for putting this team together, organizing, driving and everything between. You all are a special group a people that I hope to stay connected to. And bonus, you make an outstanding product that had kept me hydrated in all my sweat-fill activities.
  • Nuun Kids on the Block was made up of 10 bloggers + 2 Nuun employees runners + 2 Nuun employee drivers. Runners: Holly, Becky, Corrine, Katherine, Lauren, Meghan, Jenny, Kim, Stacie, Alanna, Dawn, Me. Drivers: Mason and Tyler
  • I was runner 12 and ran a total of 24.5 miles
  • I had gummy bears thrown at me while I ran and I liked it
  • I can not drink Nuun Lemon Tea without thinking of beer "Lemon Tea"
  • I learned that it is possible to go "Seagull Fishing"
  • It is possible to run, dance, and cheer with no sleep. You just need the right people around you. :)
  • After 32 hours in vans with people you met at the beginning of those 32 hours, it is possible that BFFs are made. xoxo
Yes, we got the right stuff, baby

  2. I love the "down to hydrate & party" on the van. That is great! The "Lemon Tea" sounds fantastic. :-)
