Wow, what a weekend! I survived Rouge Orleans with minimal damage, but it is not something I plan to do again anytime soon! We finished, and it was a hard fought battle. I have a ton of great stories and pictures to share, but they will have to wait. I only slept 1.5 hours from the time I got up at 5:30 am Saturday until I took a nap Sunday afternoon. I am tying this Sunday night and am in quite a zombie-like stare. For now I thought I would share some stats and pictures:
Number of miles run: approximately 21, exact numbers soon
Number of miles biked: 8.5
Number of hours slept: 1.5 over a 32 hour period
Number of times I peed on the side of the levee in the dark: 2
Temperature during my 8:30 pm leg: 36
Temperature during my 2:00 am leg: wind chill in the teens
Number of times we said “oh my gosh its so cold”: infinite
Number of cows tazed: zero, but I was prepared to defend against creatures attacking me!
QOTD: Be honest, did you think we would actually finish?!
Congrats :). I bet you’re really wiped out though, even though the distances themselves were short you had to run a LOT and also being in that van, you’re probably super sore! Glad you did it though, it sounds like it was a great experience, and I can’t wait to read the rest of your blogs about it.
thanks! my butt is most sore form that bike!
Congrats!! That is so awesome! Get some rest you deserve it!
Brrrr! Way to get that medal, girl! 🙂
LOVING your stats here and the photos! I’m going to do some editing today to get mine out to y’all. I’m SO proud we were able to push through the exhaustion and pain to complete this beast of a race. It’s quite the accomplishment, and you did a GREAT job!
yay! I cant WAIT to see your pics. When I post them I will be sure to give you photo credit and link to you. 🙂
Congrats, Heather!!! Fantastic run! I can’t imagine doing that – especially with the weather being so cold =( Hope you get some time this week to catch up on sleep and relax!
so freakin’ proud of you for doing this!!! i can’t wait to read more about it. loved reading your tweets all weekend!

I never had a doubt you’d finish!! Looking forward to more photos!
Yay, congrats! Brrr! Of course the coldest weather this winter happens during your race 🙁
I could NOT be more excited and jealous!!!!!
Yeah! I can’t wait to read more about it… I’m doing an ultra Ragnar in June.
Congrats. I ran a relay in September and I found it was harder to recover from it than from any marathon I have done.
Congrats! I’m planning to run a relay in September (my first one) and I’m nervous! I can’t wait for your recap!
I was nervous too. Once I did my first leg I was fine!
As crazy as this all sounds it only makes me want to do one even more! Cant wait for more details. 🙂

CONGRATS!!!! Get lots of rest asap :). I totally thought you guys would make it. Can’t wait for a full recap and more pics!
