Greg entered the Hickory Nut Gap race, which was last weekend. The race had a 10K, and a 50K relay. He was unable to find a partner for the relay, so the 10K it was. There were about 80 people in the race on saturday morning.
I wasn't sure what to expect, as training sometimes had to be put on the back burner in order to work on the yurt, and other responsibilities. I knew he was in good shape, though, so I was anxious to see how he did.
I took a nice, much-needed stroll in the cool woods while I waited for the racers. I had my watch timer set, so I could relax on my walk, but still make it in time for the finish.
I had to laugh when I saw this. I heard a tiny baby squalling, and was a little surprised to see it was being cared for by a very young group of kids. As this girl lifted it to rock it, I saw it was one of those realistic babies that you have to rock or feed to get to stop crying. How I would have loved one of those at that age. Now I get a real one, though, so I can't complain. :)
I expected the racers to start coming in anytime after 40 minutes. After a few skinny cross-country runner-looking fellows ran in first, here came Greg in 6th place overall! I was very proud of him, and I barely got this picture as he came streaming in to the finish.
It was a nice change of pace for us for a Saturday morning..~
