For the third year in a row, the Saturdays before and after this race were beautiful 60 degree+ days, and the day of the race was a high of 45 and raining. Awesome. But still fun! The girls were sick during the week previous so we didn't get to practice on a track beforehand and it showed! Whitney was super cute and ran the whole way no problem, but you could tell she didn't really know where to go and she just jogged it. Usually when she would run around with Eric during Kate's soccer games she would really sprint! But that's okay.
She kept telling me after how she wasn't even scared of the starting gun- this starting line picture looks like she might have been a little concerned!
plugging along on the home stretch of her 200 meter race!
happy with her ribbon afterward
And then Katelyn really surprised me by starting off fast in the 400 meter race! Here she is coming around the first curve in the middle of the pack (#28)- she looked like she was actually running fast! ( I guess I was just used to her silly runs in soccer!) She looked happy and excited and it was so cute.
But by the end she was really tired, she barely made it the last 50 meters and got passed by a bunch of girls. She didn't stop though, she finished it all the way. :) And had fun! I forgot to take a picture of her with her ribbon. We're already excited for next year!
