The Results

We had a great time at the race this morning. It was at a great county park nearby. We're glad that we got to return before we move - we've had good times reading by the lakeside and watching the powerful rhythm of the crew teams skimming past.

Today I was the one trying to fly past everyone. It was muggy and humidity is my arch-nemesis when running. But the atmosphere was wonderful and the competition was great. I held with the front pack through the first mile and a half and then felt suddenly sapped. I struggled to hang on to a racing pace. I still managed to come in around 10th and finish in 18:30. This was not the time I had hoped for, but considering the weather I was very pleased with my performance! I am grateful that I can participate and compete like that - I remember what a fine line it can be for fragile human beings between athletics and crutches. Praise God for health.

Krista did a fabulous job cheering and encouraging. She took some good pictures, too.

Can you find Dan?
