Matthew and Christopher in the Kids Sprint; we thought they were going to do the half-mile but, they did this instead. Probably the first time I’ve ever seen Christopher beat Matthew, and Matthew is quick to point out that he was blocked at the start. But I don’t recall Matthew gaining any ground on Christopher during the sprint though.
The first photo ‘checkpoint’ was as the race headed into the woods, maybe about 1/2 mile in. Contestants presented in their order of arrival; although shown separately here, Christopher and Matthew had instructions to stay together and they were.
The next checkpoint was coming out of the woods; this is about the speed that
Christopher and Matthew took the course. We thought it would be mostly running with a little walking, they decided to flip the ratios around.
Kevin heading to the finish; arrived in 22:15 which isn’t the best he’s ever done but pretty good for not having run in over months (he had just started track practice on Friday so at least had that going for him). Still was good for 3rd in his age group.
Fric and Frac powering towards the finish; you can see them walking, and then starting to run for the finish line. By the timer, Matthew ended up finishing a second ahead of Christopher. We think, for the next 5K they do, that we’ll let them run on their own and see how they actually choose to do.
Someone with red hair wanted to sprint to the end….like Matthew, I had an easy time finishing ahead of my partner. :)
