Red Rock Relay!

Oh it was SO hard to leave my baby behind!!! But I did have a good time on the Red Rock Relay. My van was great as was our whole team. I did OK on my three runs, but not as well as I would have liked. I was slower on each one, by a few minutes, than I had anticipated. However, I did it. And overall I truly tried my best. I did have a mini freakout right before my third run. I had very little sleep, maybe an hour or so, on a church lawn. I was beyond exhausted. My teammate woke me up and I jumped up right out of my sleeping bag. I was disoriented and cold and tired. My teeth started chattering hard. I felt super nauseous and started thinking people were laughing at me. I tried to throw up, but it was all dry heaves. i seriously felt like I was in shock. I wanted to cry. Once I started running though, I felt OK and by the end of my leg, I was feeling pretty great.

I'd like to share more details on the whole experience, but right now I don't have the time. Here are the photos I have from my camera. My teammates all took lots, so I will hopefully get some of those over time. I think these are all out of order.
