Napa Ragnar Relay 2012!!- "Still Honeymoonin!"

September 14th &15th was the Napa Ragnar Relay Race... 194 miles from San Fran to the Napa Valley, 12 runners, 26+ hours of running, very little or NO sleep at all and we still have a smile on our face at the end!!  Thanks to Grandma and Grandpa Stacy, Mark and I were lucky to get away and race together on our team "Still Honeymoonin." We had a blast with our friends and loved having the time together!
 Let's do this!!
 11 &1/2 yrs and we still got that spark! :)

 Mike and Aubry
 Matt and Rachel


 Brooke(Aubry's sis)  and Collin
 Dave and Cathi
 Scott and Lindsey
Ragnar brings out crazy people with awesome costumes! haha.




 Cathi started us off as runner one and she got to run across the Golden Gate Bridge. So cool!

 And Van 1 is off !! (they used our car)
 Van 2- Us, Ludlows and Tenneys.



 Ran into some of our favorite lady friends, team TuTu Fast.


 Just finished my first leg of 4 miles. Where is everyone??
 Pretend running for a picture :)
 Rachel killing the monster hill!
  Aubry rockin out and ready to run!


 Mark's up next.

  Safety first people!

 Mmmm... love those goo's
 
 
More rocking out to some "Tootsie Roll". haha! 
 Leg one's DONE! Now time for some grub and R&R until our night runs.




 
  And this was the only pic I took during the night. But I'd have to say it's a pretty cool one of Aubry and her awesome GLOW hair. You couldn't miss her! 
I loved my 6.5 mile night run in perfect 50 degree weather at 1am!! WHOOHOO!!...until my last mile up a very steep ridiculous hill!! It killed me. But I managed to average a sub-9 min/mile pace. Not too shabby :)  
 
  LEG 3 here we come!!!

 Van 1 is DONE!! Lucky!!

Coming in from my final 3.1 miles! I'm done!! 8:28 min/mi pace!


 


 Rachel flying! She ran a 7 min mile!  
 


 We're DONE!!!! 28 hours 45 minutes...
Way to go "Still Honeymoonin"!!

 Time for some real grub at Texas Roadhouse! YUM!!!

 Love these girls!! Had a blast with everyone!! and a BIG THANK YOU to Aubry who was the best  Team Captain any team could have!!
