Personal:

Have been active my whole life, but turned my focus to running in 2006 after deciding to run a marathon.  I really enjoy the training aspect and staying healthy, but mileage has been on the decline over the past 3 years due to work commitments, so focus has turned away from races and more on just staying fit enough to still enjoy getting out.  Moved from Utah to Texas in October 2016 with my wife and 3 month old babe.

RAGNAR!!  I was runner# 1 for the Backcountry.com team.  We use this race to promote our company(and have fun of course), so each leg I carried some type of gear that we sell on our website.  For leg#1 I carries ski poles, wore goggles, and carried a backpack with snowshoes strapped to it.  It was pretty brutal, but I still managed to finish 2nd out of my wave. : )

9:30PM

Leg# 13.  I only have this leg on this race report, because I really tried to push the pace here.  I had a slight stomach cramp from carrying the snowshoes on my first leg, but still threw down a decent effort.  I wore a life vest and carried a paddle for this leg.  Overall it was a great run!

AHA! You're one of the people that was confusing the daylights out of me. I passed someone on the first half of Guardsman Pass carrying a paddle and life vest and I could not for the life of me figure out what on earth he was doing. I also saw the backpack and hiking poles guy. Now I know... haha
