[quote=Anonymous]I did it last year--the Washington DC one where we practically ran through a hurricane! :)

I'm glad I did it once, but I'm not sure I'd do it again unless I could be guaranteed good weather.   For me, it wasn't running in the rain that was so hard--it was the waiting in the van.  Not really feeling able to get out and stretch because you'd get soaked, always feeling kind of wet and dirty, etc.   For me it was just emotionally difficult.

I found my group when another runner posted on a Facebook running group I was involved with that she was looking to put together a Ragnar team.   As it turned out, most/all of the other runners already knew each other and were friends, except me---I met all of them for the first time at a "team meeting" about a month before the race.  But it was great--they were all very nice and welcoming to me.  :)
If you are looking for a team to join, I would look at the facebook page for the specific race you want to do.   Teams that are short a runner will often post there looking for someone.

One thing I did to help prepare was to do a google search to find blogs of other runners who had done my race, and my legs, in previous years.   I was runner 8 and I found an AWESOME blog that was very detailed.

Good Luck![/quote]
