Racing

 Racing has become so popular and something we as a family look forward to every summer.  We have participated in some fun races and things I would have never dreamed about doing a few years back!  Todd and I recently ran in the M.A.D. Half Marathon.  We did this race last year, they messed up the course and we had to run an extra 2 miles so this year they offered the race to us at half price so we signed up, but wasn't sure if we would really participate.  Anyway, we ran it but we didn't spend much time training and preparing for it this year, none the less we finished and had fun.
This week it was the kids turn.  They raced in the Rexburg Youth River Rock Triathlon.  Braeden and Carson participated in the Elite race which is timed and for kids 10-18.  Braeden took first place!!! Ashlynn and Analee participated in their age groups with shortened distances and just for fun!  This is the second year for this race, what a great experience for them.  They have lots of cousins that do it with them too.  So fun!!  Tyson doesn't care for the swimming part so he opted to sit out this year.
