Short version: This is literally the most poorly managed race I've ever done. I was pretty annoyed with all the hassles last year, so was on the fence about doing it again. But even though it is only a month away, they don't seem to be doing any better

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

I've run this race on July 4th a number of times and each year this event has improved. What did bug me was that there was no National Anthem played prior to the start of the race. Come on Guys it's the 4th of July. The birthday of this great nation.
