Runnerz In the Night placed 2nd among 109 finishing teams and 1st in the Open Male Division. Took us 22 hours, 58 min and 42 seconds to cover the 181-plus miles. See details here: www.ragnarrelay.com/index.php?option=com_dynamicpages&Itemid=81&page=results&raceName=dc&raceId=12&year=2008Or here: tristaterunnur.com/article18.htmlI sincerely hope some of the local runners would consider participating in next year's event. It's a lot of fun - which surprised me, actually, because about a week out I was ready to pull myself from the team. Now, however, I'm looking forward to next year's race. In about 6-8 months, it'll be time to start signing up for 2009. It'd be easier, I think, to coordinate a team comprised of all local runners. Our team this year consisted of runners scattered between Ellerslie and Northern Virginia. A single chance to meet before hand, review rules & race-day expectations would have been great. Anyway, lots of fun despite the rain and some challenging legs of the race (mine were all easy, though). I also think instead of 12-person team, a 6-person "ultra" team would be really fun (each runner averages about 30 miles apiece instead of the 15 or so we each ran, over 3 legs).

I'm glad I didn't commit to this or any other fall race in hindsight since I'm still on the recovery trail, but I would be willing to consider for next year, Kevin
