Red Rock Relay Zion 2012

Earlier this month, I went down to Zion for the Red Rock Relay Zion. It was an 187 mile relay with a team of 12 runners. It took us about 35 hours to finish the race (running day and night!). It was definitely a challenging race. I ran my 3 legs at 5 PMish, 4:30 AM, and then my last leg was in the afternoon the next day ( I don't remember what time it was). 
Here is 5 of the 6 runners in my van (the 6th runner was running).
Getting ready for my first leg!

Such a fun place to run.

The WHOLE team at the finish line. We had cute matching shirts that said, "run Lauren run" or "run Kirsten run", etc

Eric and Clint (ignore that girl in a sports bra behind us!!)

This was a tough run and I don't think I would do another relay like this, but I did have fun and don't regret doing it! I am proud to say that I ran the most miles of all the girls on the team, 19.1 miles!!
