I zoomed into the road where I was going to be running my first leg of 3.7 miles. Doesn't sound like much, but it was all uphill! I was runner #12 and my first leg was labeled "very hard" on the Ragnar website!

You can't see the road in this shot, but you can see the winding canyon if you look at the trees in the center. Part of my first leg.

One of the support stops for Mike while he was running the Ragnar leg. The Ragnar Leg is considered the most difficult leg of all 36 legs of this race. While it doesn't look like much from this shot, most of this leg is a steep uphill climb.
