Well. Done. Burt. Good. Luck. At. Ragnar.

From Kelli on Thu, Feb 25, 2010 at 10:06:38 from 71.219.89.82

Have fun at Ragnar!!! I wish I was there to get some nummy brownies from you, assuming you still love me enough to make me some! My nephew is being baptized on Saturday, so I wish we were gonna be there!

Looking forward to the details on the new course changes!

From Steve Piccolo on Thu, Feb 25, 2010 at 11:11:42 from 155.100.160.162

Enjoy Ragnar!! I'm jealous. That would be fun.

From Scott Wesemann on Thu, Feb 25, 2010 at 11:23:27 from 66.239.250.209

Good luck at Ragnar Burt. I'm excited to read your report.

From Burt on Thu, Feb 25, 2010 at 11:24:20 from 206.19.214.144

Chris - L. O. L.

Kelli - of course I still love you enough. But alas, you won't be here. Happy early birthday anyway.

Steve - I heard there's 1000 teams this year in Utah. Are you on one?

From Burt on Thu, Feb 25, 2010 at 11:25:42 from 206.19.214.144

Scott - thanks. I'm excited to write it. lol. Actually, I'm excited to run it. I've got the 2nd overall longest distance this time, so we'll see how I do.

From RivertonPaul on Thu, Feb 25, 2010 at 13:00:34 from 67.42.27.114

Better start loading up on Diet Mtn. Dew! :0

From Burt on Thu, Feb 25, 2010 at 13:26:55 from 206.19.214.144

with MY weak bladder?

From Teena Marie on Thu, Feb 25, 2010 at 14:11:37 from 155.99.200.142

Good luck! Have fun. Take lots of pics.

From Steve Piccolo on Thu, Feb 25, 2010 at 14:13:21 from 155.100.160.162

Nope, I'm a poor college student. Ragnar is too expensive for me.

From Burt on Thu, Feb 25, 2010 at 14:35:22 from 206.19.214.144

Teena - you know I will.

Steve - I had my mother-in-law pay for it. The trick is to wait 'til the last minute when teams have people drop out and offer to step in if you don't have to reimburse them for the registration.

From RAD on Thu, Feb 25, 2010 at 14:39:59 from 67.172.229.125

Can't wait to hear the stories and see the pics from an awesome week at Ragnar!

Do the Dew - for men you don't have to worry about where the potties are :)

Some of the woman on this blog don't seem to worry about them either.

From Burt on Thu, Feb 25, 2010 at 17:04:58 from 206.19.214.144

Sam - We had a coyote following one of our runners the first year. A real coyote. It wasn't RUN2DAY.
