Cross Country Meet

Well, this weekend, we went to our very first cross country meet. After it rained all night, we left for Lake Afton we wondered if it was even going to happen....Shows you how much I know about cross country. The Coach said it was the best kind of weather for a race! I took Gabe to school so he could ride out w/the team and then we went out much later. They were scheduled to run at 11, so we didn't want to be late for a 7 minute race. Well, we got there and it was MUDDY! To the point where our pants were muddy and the tops of our shoes were caked on mud. The 6th grade boys were racing a 1 mile race in the 7th grade category. Gabe started off really fast and then ended up being a little behind after running up the steep hill by the dam. Finally finishing 27th of over 100 boys. I thought it was pretty good for his very first meet. He ran the mile in 7:32. His best friend Tyler came in 7th! We are proud of him. I'll attach a couple of pics to show before and after the race.
