It's crazy that we've been living in Eagle Mountain long enough for this to be our third year running this race. (I sat out last year with newborn Gabe. But Jonny ran a great one!) Even though we didn't have to travel far, we had to wake the kids up early to be on time to catch the bus to the starting line. Julia thought the bus ride was "so way awesin," and we certainly didn't mind the downhill run it offered us.
We were surprised to see Dad, Mom, and Cami at the race! I had told them about it but didn't think they were going to come. Totally fun.
So as you can see from our times, we both ran a pretty awesome race. The kids and I definitely set a new PR. We surely owe that to the downhill course. There was only one slight uphill toward the end and I was able to keep my speed up quite well. Jonny beat his time from this race last year by almost a minute! He placed 4th in the age group (Men 21-30) and 8th in men overall. I placed 3rd in my age group (women 21-30) and 7th in women overall.
Julia and Gabe were very good sports throughout the whole event. Usually Gabe pulls Julia's hair and she whines about it. But they must have liked the speed because they were perfectly content. Of course Julia was commenting on passing dogs, flowers, hot air balloons, etc. (That means I have to respond/acknowledge everything she says.) I love my little running friends.
