4 months ago we all thought it would be a great idea to sign up for Ragnar Relay in Florida. At the time all we knew was there were 6 of us (an ultra team) that were going to run 191 miles. Easy enough, right? Well that was before we decided to turn this into a whole themed event! It has definitely made things entertaining. It started with our team name, S.S. Insanity. Of course that led to some sort of boat theme. Since we're from Tampa Bay, a pirates theme came to mind first. That was until Audrey came up with Gilligan's Island! The best idea EVER! And that's where things started to get really entertaining...especially since we did a role reversal in characters. I'm the Skipper, Jen is Gilligan, Audrey is the Millionaire (without a wife), Anne-Marie is the Professor, Chris is Mary Ann and Dave is Ginger! Yes, he is wearing a dress. The ideas just kept flowing after that. Thanks to Nan, we have some AWESOME shirts to wear while we're running! A big thank you to Dad and Nan also for helping us decorate the van and Forerunner today! Hey, we may not be the fastest team, but we're definitely going to look good doing it! :) Stay tuned for the craziness that is about to ensue over the next 48 hours!
