A friend from church asked if I wanted to join a team to run in the Epic Relay.
It is a race that is run from Colorado Springs to Crested Butte,
a total of 190 miles.
It climbs to an elevation of over 12,000 feet.
It would involve constant running all day and night, and the next day.
It would involve little or no sleep.
Of course my response was, Oh Yeah!
The team consisted of 12 people, and we split up into 2 vans.
Here are the people in my van awake and ready to go at 6AM.
John, Ashley, Ben, me, Jen, Cindy, and our awesome driver, Hyrum.

Our team's name was DNR, or in other words "Do Not Rescuscitate."
And here's some people from our other van.
Cassie, Chantelle, Shawn, Jessica, and Steve.

One person from our team was running at all times.
The rest of us would hang out in the van.

It's my turn!
Gabe volunteered to help out during the race.
It was so fun to see him at one of the exchanges.

At night we had to wear reflective gear, as I was wearing below because I was running next.
Here we are at the summit, an elevation of 12,126 feet.
Wow, what a view!
And running as a team to the finish.
Yay! We made it!
And nobody even needed resuscitating. :)

Now that was Epic.
