Our last legs were so great, Dan started before the sun came up at 5:18 in the morning so it was really cool and he got to run along the coast line which was so incredible. After we finished our legs we were able to go to a hotel in Torrey Pines and shower which felt so amazing. Then Dan, Kenna and I jumped right back into the van to go and see Cris run his last leg. Seeing him on the course was so fun and then we got to hang out with his van while we waited for him to finish. After we saw him we quickly grabbed some lunch and then headed to the finish line. We finished our race on a little Island south of San Diego called Coronado. It was beautiful and so fun to finish on the beach. During the race I felt every emotion possible from complete joy to total anger. I kept saying to myself during the race why are you doing this, it is so crazy, this is not FUN! I was surprised to find that after all was said and done I really did enjoy it. The pride I felt in myself for completely something so hard was so immense that it is hard for me to describe. It was truly a weekend I will not forget. After the race ( I think because I had so many hard hills) I lost three toe nails and my feet peeled and looked disgusting. But I am now currently in training again to run in September for my birthday. It is the Napa Valley Ragnar and we will start in San Francisco and finish in Napa. I am really looking forward, which I never would have thought!
Dan ran 7.37 miles in 1 hour and 16 mins, his time was totally amazing since it was his third leg.
I ran 3.07 miles in 49 mins, I was trying to get under 45 mins but I had a couple of hills that surprised me so I was happy with my time.
Kenna giving Dan a big sweaty hug he had just finished his last leg.
They were hanging out waiting for me to run in.
The picture below is my last exchange. It was literally 5 steps from the water, totally amazing!
Here I am running to hand off to Tom.
Tom and I hugging as I just finished and he is about to start his last leg. It was really emotional for me I had just run 12.5 miles in two days and felt so incredible!
We were done and so happy about it!
Here we are crossing the finish line. It was so beautiful.
This was our van, I had such an amazing time with them. Tom, Yvonne and Baylea are really friends for life now!
Our whole team after we crossed the finish line, we were so happy to be done!
My Mom and Sister Leah brought the kids to the finish line so they could see us cross. It was nice for them to experience it but after being up for almost two days straight having to watch a four and two year old in all the craziness was not really fun. Here Ryan is dancing to the music and playing in the sand. He really had such a good time. 
Here is Cris' team crossing the finish line, he had a great time as well and will be on our team for the Napa race which will be so much fun!
Leah got a picture at the finish line with the biggest loser blue team!
