| This was Kelly's first EVER race! She thought this was a "beginner" 5k trail run- well at least that's what the race promoters would have us believe. It was in fact NOT for beginners as there was a "mini" Monster Hill right at the very beginning of the course and there was no "mini" in it. This was my first "non-obstacle" race. |
 |
| Rob and Shay dragged us into this race! We have been very thankful for awesome friends to go running with and keep each other challenged. |

| This is how dudes prepare for a race! |
 |
| Focused intensity- I thought about bellowing out an "Immitis Viventium" war charge, but didn't want to kicked out of the race at the very beginning. |
 |
| Rob powering in through the finish! |
 |
| Strong all the way to the end- and no throwing up either! |
 |
| Nice work ladies! |
 |
| I made sure that Kelly's Powerade matched her shirt! I know I'm a good husband like that. |
 |
| I had to get my sweat filled shirt back up in the pictures- proves I actually did something. I'm so proud of my wife! She kept moving the whole time and finished a very challenging trail run! |
 |
| These were the 1st place finisher prizes. |
 |
| I ended up placing 7th overall and 2nd in my age division- 30-34 |
 |
| Raffle prizes- Rob won a beautiful set of purple reflective compression sleeves- I don't think he owned them for very long though. |
 |
| I won a pair of running socks- which I only owned until we got home and now they live in Kelly's sock drawer. |

| Kelly won a nice backpack for runnnin gear- remember honey- "What's yours is mine and what's mine is mine." |
Overall we had an awesome time with amazing friends! The thing about these types of races is that it will show you where your weaknesses are- so that you can identify and conquer them!

Spartan Race coming in two weeks!!
You did an awesome job this morning babe... so proud of you. And so grateful for all your support and love during my first race... loved that we got to do it together.
ReplyDeleteGreat post Dave! I'm so glad you let us "drag" you and Kelly to the race! We had lots of fun and can't wait to do another one with you!
ReplyDeleteUh, hum, just to correct a tinsy error in one of your statements: What's your is hers and what's hers is hers! There, now all is right with the world (or at least Kelly's!)
