We made it to Las Vegas for the Ragnar. It was the best time ever and I think we all want to do it again. Can you blame us? Look at the fun we had.
Sage Zach and I all got up at 2am drove to the Vally of Fire state park and worked until 8:30am as volunteers. It was dark most of the time so I didn't get any good pictures of us but we each got a shirt and a gift bag. It was fun!
I started the Ragar checking the safty gear from each van. I loved it and would have stayed all day but I wanted to be with my family!!
I loved the cool decals that Dave arranged!! It was so much fun being able to celebrate our awesome Grandparents!! What an amazing posterity! Look what they started!!
The girls showing off the decorated van #2
Erika and Lee decorating the suburban.
Van #2. This is the Van I was supposed to run with but because of my injury Amber ran for me. I was lucky Lee's vehicle was so big so I could hang out with them the whole race.
The name the Dickson Scrubs came from the fact that Grandma Dickson always called her grandkids "scrub" We ran together to celebrate Grandma and Grandpa Dicksons 70th wedding anniversary!!
It is so great to be together. I have the best family ever!!!
Lee running his first leg....no big deal. Up a steep hill but for Lee...no big deal. lol
I was so sad when I didn't get to run in this Ragnar. I was so grateful that my family let me hang out with them the whole time.
Bump was the one who wanted to run this Ragnar. Erin got bullied into it and then Bump got injured. Erin ran and Bump supported her the whole race. It was so much fun hanging out with them.
Erin didn't think she was going to be able to do well at all. She ended up suprising herself. She ran the last to legs without walking at all and she got us ahead 1/2 hour. I know she loved it. I hope she will do it again so Bump and I can run with her!!
Erika was awesome. She had shin splints like I did before my torn ligament and she just kept right on running. Pain and all. Every time she ran I just kept wishing I was running too. I really felt bad that I was missing out on the running part. Pain and all.
Jessica going for the KILL!!!
Ambers first leg. It was the shortest but it was all uphill and steep!! OUCH!!!
Uncle Bump giving amber advice...."now Amber when you run up behind that guy just scream like from a horror movie and he'll get out of the way..."
Kaylea was the star of van 2. She got more kills than anyone and that girl can RUN!!
What a great way to get to know each other again. I had so much fun I can't even express it appropriately.
Dave was a riot as usual. I don't know how he kept it up being as tired as he was. I'm glad he did. Ragnar is only fun when the people you are with know how to have fun. :)
I was with Dallin when he ran his second leg. It was dark and scary and in the middle of crazy traffic. I was terrified for him. He ran so fast he had older men trying to keep up with him and just about killing themselves doing it. He acted like it was no big deal and going on and on about how much he loves running. :)
Amber was miserable after her first leg. Then on her second leg she snapped out of it and did amazing the rest of the time. Yay Amber!!
Sleeping with the tarantulas. I slept in the car.
Lee after his 3rd and hardest leg. This was the longest and most difficult leg of this race or any ragnar race from what I have been told. Lee ran it, grimaced, and moved on to have a fun time like it never happened. He didn't even throw up!!
The giggly girls from van #2
The Hand off Jessica to Amber!
Uncle Lee dancing in support of Amber. Now what better way to show team spirit!!
Lee was so much fun the whole race but more important he was the definition of support. He gave the pep talks he gave advice and he made everyone feel like they really were doing the best job ever. Lee has run is 6 or 7 Ragnars now and he really knows how to make the most of the race.
At the end of the race everyone was so tired but we were still having a great time. I love our family!
