Ragnar Del Sol is on February 20 and 21. I’ve done a couple of them. This year, I didn’t sign up for it because last year I got roped into organizing it. It was a pain. My friend Katie has signed up with a team but has to drop out because of a travel commitment. […]
Ragnar
Babette and spin
A lot of folks in spin class did Ragnar. Before class started, we reminisced about it and compared our experiences. Babette (our spin instructor) was on one of the faster teams; they finished 18th overall. I think we finished 18th from the bottom! Spin today was pretty routine. Lots of sweat, lots of loud music […]
Ragnar Del Sol – Day 2
Jasson, Lori, G, Chris, Shelly, Brittni, Sar (Van 2) After barely sleeping at Shelly’s place last night, we were off to Anthem to resume our leg by 1AM. At least we all were able to take a shower and feel somewhat fresh! Caty, Brett, Shelly, G (somewhere on the west side) By the time it […]
Ragnar Del Sol 2013 – Day 1
I am going to do a quick post about my day 1. A detailed report with a bunch of pictures will follow next week. The day started at around 9:30AM. As expected, Shelly was a bit late in showing up, but the others were on time. I met Lori, her husband Jasson and Sar for […]
Ragnar prep, zero workout
Today was my first no workout day in more than a month. Things got a bit too busy during the day and all-of-a-sudden, it was 6PM. Work was busy (we launched a new version of our mobiFriendly platform yesterday), I had to go pick up the Ragnar van and then go to Costco to buy […]
Ragnar, Snow, Pippa and Tory Burch
I hope as heck I am not jinxing it, but our Ragnar team is now SOLID. Thanks to JoEllen’s mom Lori, van 2 also has 6 solid runners. Whew… I had never heard of Tory Burch before last week. Rahul thinks that he is Mr. HotShot investor and does endless research on stock. He was […]
Is our Ragnar team jinxed?
We did get one piece of good news this morning for our Ragnar team. JoElle has joined the team and she is doing the long 23.3 miler. We are all set with our team. Er….not really! Unfortunately, Emma is having IT band issues and has dropped out of our Ragnar team. I feel bad for […]
Longest ride of 2013 | Mangy no more
A bunch of folks dropped out from today’s bike ride for various reasons. Kimberly had an art auction, Shelly was tired from her weekend with her beau, Kristen was out of town, a bunch of folks were riding with the TnT team, etc. etc. In the end, it was 6 of us. I had to […]
More Ragnar team drama
Barb is the newest addition to our Ragnar team. Kimberly is still undecided. Arturo just called me to drop out because of a knee injury. So…as of now, we have 10 (5 guys and 5 girls) confirmed and 1 (girl) tentative. This means we are short by 1 guy runner who needs to do the […]
Long run, crazy sight and Ragnar captain’s meeting
It has finally warmed back up in Scottsdale. It was a gorgeous sunny day with perfect temperatures for running. I started my long 2-hour run at around 3:45PM. I ran on streets around my office and felt pretty good throughout the run. In the middle of the run, just East of 96th on Shea Blvd […]
