The Morning After Report

So here it is, the day after the big relay!  Just like my Keys100 experience, this was amazing!  Ragnar is much more of an 'extreme' event in that (especially for those who are in van 2) you're running during the day (in the heat & sun) and also in the middle of the night (in the pitch black).  Unless you're someone who can sleep anywhere & at any time regardless of noise, you're not getting much sleep until the race is over, so you've got the "tired factor" to deal with too.  After reading that, you may be thinking to yourself, "Ok, Kim's not going to do this relay again."  Uhhhhhh, think again!  I would totally do this again!!!

My legs feel really good.  I wore my 2nd pair of compression calf sleeves after I showered yesterday afternoon and kept them on all night.  I'm a firm believer that this really does help with recovery.  My quads are slightly sore, but not bad at all, and absolutely nothing like they were after the Keys100.  (In all fairness, though, I did run almost 4 miles more for the Keys100.)

Breakfast this morning was great!  Heather suggested that we go to La Creperie, and we got there at just about the perfect time before it got crowded and people started to wait.  Here's a picture of what I got.  It was delicious!  This is the blurb from the menu: Buckwheat crepe, goat cheese: over a bed of mesclun salad with walnuts, tomatoes, golden raisins, Herbs de Provence, and balsamic vinaigrette.

We're now in the van & headed back to the air station.  Can't believe it's all over.  No worries, though!  I already have my next adventure scheduled.  My team from last year asked me to join them again for the Keys100 in May!  Woo hoo!  :-)
