Flight of the Buffalo

I FINALLY got our pictures from last summer when we did the Wasatch Back Relay with our friends: Lisa Jones, Brandon & Lesli John, and Lesli's mom, Rhonda Parson (thanks Les!). For those of you who don't know what the Wasatch Back is, I will explain. It is a 24 hour relay race that goes from Logan to Midway and back to Park City. We all had to run 3 times. My 1st run was 3.5 miles in the blazing afternoon sun. The second (and my favorite) was 7 miles in the middle of the night. And, my 3rd was 4 miles in the rain (not my favorite). Mike had a similar amount of miles, but ran the hardest leg of the race-- the Ragnar. It was a crazy, fun and very tiring experience.

Poor Lesli came in from her last leg when the real down pour began, just before they had to cancel the end of the race for the rest of the runners. She was drenched. What a trooper!
