But, I needed to figure out how to customize our relay team shirts with our first names across the back. At the [...]

I was pretty excited to be runner 5 and 11 on our ultra relay Team for So Cal Ragnar. Mostly because my first leg would run through familiar territory and leg 17 included a killer downhill. Leg 5 through the City of Orange: While the first leg of mine was short, it was unbearably …
