Chasing Pavements...

RAGNAR OR BUST!!!

THE BABES of '09
The adventures of 12 women who set out to conquer the world--well not really it just felt like it. They set out to run 188 miles.

People say we're "crazy," some say we're "insane," some will just say "lame," but WE say it's all for the "love" of running. We like to see the power of the human body pushed to extremes...funny how it does respond. Heroes are born and self-reliance is a must. It's amazing how when finishing excited and exhausted for a brief moment the world seems to be right.


Our Faithful Mascots

Barbie--AKA Trixie (The elements of the storm and the intensity of the race just got to Trixie--she had to let loose) Thanks Tiff for letting me use this pic.


Skipper--in timeout for giving us some mechanical trouble on Avon



Crissy really was a trooper after Skipper went to timeout Crissy pulled through--You know it's all in your attitude. You can do anything if you have a good attitude


Wanna take a guess what this is???


If you guessed the inside of a Honey Bucket you are correct.

A little family support goes a long way
One of our competitors "the Mullets" (you have to read all the different kinds mullets there are--my favorite: The Nebraska Neckwarmer)


Nurse Betty/Handy Heidi

Chasing Pavements
(our song and theme)

30 hours of no sleep can make for a little tiredness along with some crazy talk and lots of laughs

And we end with saying "The Babes will be back" 2010 RAGNAR or BUST!

Jamie, I just loved that! I had to pause the music on your blog at the bottom so I could hear and it was awesome. Valley Babe Fiest Rocks the Ragnar. So dang fun. And thanks for the plug-if anyone gets eaten by a Yeti or actually is taken by one, I will pay $500 to their surviving family members. DavieBoy

Oh I am so proud to be a babe! I sure am glad that Jennie didn't get eaten by a yeti, and that Ashley has a good attitude, and that Emily still has her cheerleading moves, and dance pants, and that Kate is happy, and that cuzy knows how to drive a car with no power, and not panic. Everyone is happy. Babes forever!!!
