The Red Rock Relay took place this last weekend. If you don't know, it's 70 miles through beautiful Moab, Ut. The most GORGEOUS views I've ever seen and besides the HEAT, our 6 man team had a weekend we'll never, ever forget!! This was my very first relay and I think it's safe to say I might be addicted :) Enjoy the pics, there are lots! A bit out of order.. but you get the idea :)
We arrived in Moab Friday night and here we are carb loadin' for the BIG day!
Bright and early at the starting line.. sending off our first runner Al!
The team who stretches together, stays together ;)
Jakey and I goofing off.. one of MANY times!
Heading off on my second leg of the day!
This is for Alisha, please don't be offended. We really do love each other, ha ha!
Decorating our awesome team van!
My first leg of the day, only 3 miles but straight UPHILL!! I barely even remember this one.. I was thinking some very choice words right about now.
Kim and Jake.. never a dull moment in our van!
Team "What the Hell?" was very fitting for us!
Little Devils :)
Crazy aunt Kimmy... our team captain! RUN THE RED ROCK!!
Matching shoes with my auntie!
Sending off Kim on her first run!
Nicole on her first leg!
Team "What the Hell?" WE DID IT!!!
Getting ready to head off on my first leg (the 3 mile uphill) Look at those clouds! This run wasn't so hot, but the head wind while running uphill and the elevation about killed me!
National Park the next day to see the Arches..
CRAZY Alisha :)
Can't think of anywhere more beautiful than this to run!

Literally crossed my finish line and jumped right into the Macarana with my teammates! That's how we do it! :)
