whitney's race video

Whitney and Katelyn ran in the BYU Homecoming kids races, it's 200 meters for 1-4 year-olds. It was just as awesome as we knew it would be!! Katelyn did great, see next post, even though she runs faster than that when we're just playing in the backyard. She took 4th place! So she just missed a medal. :) But in the official results they have her as 7th, because as you can see from our video evidence, 3 girls passed her in the finish chute and the people in charge didn't even notice! Rude. Eric was so mad, he's the one who stayed with her during the race, but didn't go through the finish line with her. Good thing she didn't really take 3rd or we would have had to fight for her medal! haha.

Then little Whitney, you'll see in this video how she stops, breathing all hard, just to rest, then stops to point out a hot air balloon, totally trips and falls on her face, classic Whitney, then jumps back up and keeps going. My personal favorite is her funny big steps the last few meters. She was the CUTEST, SO excited about "my race" for weeks beforehand. We weren't going to have her do it but she wanted to SO BAD! She took second-to-last place and it was so fun! (and the video is blurry, taken with our old broken camera)

This is a new family tradition by the way :) If only we could get Eric to run the 5k with me....

Okay sad. the video will not upload after 4 tries. :(
