I love Ragnars, and I love hills, but we were super nervous when we checked into our hotel and someone asked what kind of team we were - then asked who was running the mountain. Whaaaat?!? No worries, anyone who is dedicated enough to sign up for a 12 person relay

Easy to get there, easy to manage. Great crowds but also plenty of quiet stretches. Great medals. Great array of food at the finish including coffee cups of chicken broth, much appreciated on a cold, windy day. I could come to Philly and do this race every year.

Excellent coordination from start to finish. Shuttle buses from the hotel were really well coordinated and I didn't have to worry at all getting to and from the start line which I appreciated. The most memorable moment was what felt like miles and miles of crowd support which really helped me
