Flo's Race!

We kicked off the morning with Flo's 200-meter race! She did great for the first half and then almost wanted to quit. Then the finish line was in sight and she grabbed my hand to hobble to the end! Great job, Flo!

Lawrence came prepared with his airplane and jeep. Flo was pretty triumphant with her ribbon and gum after the race. There's Wesley on the stand for his medal, getting 1st in his age group.
Tymber and Lawrence pre-race. Fun in the leaves.

Pre Race Fun

After getting blue pancakes and juice, the kids had some fun in the fall leaves.

Lawrence really enjoyed my pre-race drink mix.

At the start line just about ready to run!

The Race

This was a mentally challenging race for me. I felt stiff and I hadn't done any hill workouts so the start took a lot out of me. However, I was impressed that Strava showed that I got 16:13 for a 5k – that's a new PR by 3 seconds!

While I raced, the kids had a lot of fun being dogs.

And the dog fiasco continues after the race! Complete with horse rides.

Strava Race Results

I use my Garmin watch to track my races and then they get uploaded to Strava for sharing.
