She freakin' won it!!

We aren't excited or anything. ;-)

This is such an incredible accomplishment, and for once I actually picked the winner! (A few years ago even!) Today was her day - when the weather was the worst that they have ever seen during the Boston Marathon. She's one tough runner. We were quite content to enjoy 'Marathon Monday' from the comfort of our living room this year! Our hats are off to all those who completed the course today...

Cheap Marathon

He almost missed his start, but was there ever a question that he would finish? He has more strength and determination than anyone I've ever known!

Day 2 at Valcartier!!

She flew around the course with our 6 Dog Class entry: Shark & Sparkles, Bull & Dara, and Ice & Spice. Go team!

Day 2 of KVACs - Freestyle Pursuit

He is pleased with his race today. He's had such a good season!

Tuck & go!!

Today he raced in the Sassi Memorial at Black Mountain.

Go Vikings!

They finally got to race again today!

This is cani-cross!

This was a heavily contested race and they took off fast...

Shark and Nate charged to a third place finish!

Nova hooked herself up to our friends' 'King' Endo and won the women's race!

We had so much fun splashing through all the puddles. I love this sport!!

Trek was pretty proud of herself!

And she should be since she just pulled them to a 2nd place finish in the canicross!!

They're ready for Regionals!

Today they are racing for the opportunity to represent their team at the State Meet next Saturday!

Festival of Champions

This morning he raced in the Unseeded Boys race and came in 5th place! What I liked best was watching all the boys high-fiving and congratulating each other for a great run. The encouragement and sportsmanship that we witness at cross-country meets is one of the reasons we love this sport!

Team Nooksack at the 2nd Annual Soldiers Pace 5k Canicross race

We took the 2 top places for the males, and the top place for the females! Great job team!!

(I ran with Yukon, and we somehow managed to cross the finish line in 30 minutes. Woohoo!!)

Cross Country Meet @ our Home Course

Vikings Girls Cross Country Team

Showing 'em how it's done!

Personal Best

This afternoon he pushed hard (and still had fun!) and achieved a personal best time! I was so proud watching him dig in and run fast. He was so happy!!

Om-a-can Can-oe Triathlon

Our first event this morning - watching him do his thing on the bike, running, and then paddling a kayak. Well, actually miss that first part because we're going to be running ourselves...

Warming up in a downpour!

Which ended up turning into a thunderstorm, so their race was cancelled. :-(

Vikings at Maranacook

Race to the Top of Vermont

They are going to run to the top of Mount Mansfield, along with all these other runners, hikers, and cyclists! I'm heading up first with the camera, and I had better get going...
