Since Cynthia just asked about signing up for a relay together I wanted to let you all know that I'm pretty sure I'm going to register and captain a team for Las Vegas Ragnar. I'm just too pumped up after L.A. that I just can't wait until next February for Del Sol (don't worry Lindy, I'm still down for Del Sol too!). Las Vegas is October 9th and 10th, so I know that is likely way too soon after St. George for those of you doing that if you win in the lottery. But I'm putting it out there...for those of you not signed up for St. George and if it so happens that the team is not selected in the lottery :(.
Not many details on the Ragnar site yet, but it is from from Valley of Fire, NV to Las Vegas, NV. A nice in between meeting point for the Utah girls and the AZ girls to meet up. I was just going to find a team to tag on to, but I really think we can get enough people together ourselves that would want to do it and form our own team.
Let me know if you are interested in being on the team. Just an up front notification - Ragnar gets expensive with van rentals, gas, uniforms, etc. Registration is $85-95 per person plus we will need anywhere from $30-100ish a person additional to cover expenses plus travel costs driving up or flying. That number all depends on our planning and how much fundraising we can do. Do we rent vans in AZ or UT and drive over? Do we individually make flight plans? When/where do we need to get hotel rooms? Etc. Lots of planning yet to do, but we have plenty of time to do fundraising and it is quite possible to raise ALL of the funds we need other than registration.
We can wait to see what is posted May 11th for St. George. Still crossing my fingers for all of you that are signed up for that! And hey, you can always be crazy and do both if you think you could handle it (no pressure during Ragnar if you want to be there for the fun and take it easy on the runs). Hard to say just yet how hard or easy the LV course will be since they don't have the route or elevation posted. Someone is always there to help you out on your legs if you can't make it through or just need a friend with you along the way!
Keep it in mind and comment back if you think it's a possibility for you. :)

Im definitely interested! Whether I get to do St George or not. My training can "kill 2 birds with one stone", right?
ReplyDeleteIll just have to assess if there will be any money left in the bank after all the summer activities my kids are getting signed up for...when would you like a strong commitment?
Let's at least wait and see what May 11th holds for St. George. I'm thinking I'd like to get paid commits in before June 8th (a week before early registration is due). That way I don't have to front the entire $1020 registration myself. It is husband approved, so I'm positive that I'm registering a team. Blog girls get first in before I start asking more people! :) We will have to see if we'll end up with an all women team or mixed before we register.
ReplyDeleteIf we get into St. George, I think the marathon and relay in two weekends would be too much for my legs (and budget) BUT if we don't get into St. George I would love to do the relay (especially with the relay champion, Bridge!).
ReplyDeleteMy husband is interested in doing a relay, too - so there is a possiblity of two of us. But if you're not having a co-ed team, he can wait for another one - no big deal.
Fun! Of course I totally want to do it. Let's see what next Monday holds and then I'll let you know!
ReplyDeleteIt all depends on St. George and then I'll have to sweet talk the hubby ...
