Ragnar

Niel ran in his first relay race forever ago and did really well. Remember Niel is one of those people who is good at almost everything? He hasn't ever been a 'runner' but he started training for Ragnar several months ago.

Short description of Ragnar:

12 Runners
2 vans
Running 200 miles
day and night
Relay style
Each person runs 3 legs during a 24 hour period

Not my idea of fun. Running, no sleep, and riding in a sweaty van for 24 hours sounds awful but plenty of people love that stuff apparently.

Niel's Stats:
First Leg: 7.3 miles in 52 minutes. 23 Kills
Leg 2: 3.5 miles in 24 minutes. 14 Kills. No deaths.
Leg 3: Forgot to write it down. Wasn't as good though.

Afterwards Niel came home and slept. A lot.

Contratulations Niel! (That would seem a bit late, but considering we already wished you well when we visited last...well, double time!) I'm always impressed with Niels abilities, hard work and determination. Go Niel!
