Rumble In the Jungle

Last Saturday, we headed to Goshen for Rumble in the Jungle. This was the meet that all the CC kids were talking about, it was a really fun race: music blaring thru the course, running thru the woods and the scenery--one of their favorite races.  I was excited to go and couldn't wait to see all that the kids were talking about. Well, with these big races, you only get so many "pit bands" and could only have them if you were taking pictures. I was the good wife and gave mine to Brian so that he could do his thing in the woods (be at certain points to yell times to Hunter). It was hard but I was so glad that not to be in the woods because Brian didn't get to see him finish--that is my favorite part of a race!

We are official looking: warm up jacket

 

I have to say that the 3 hours before a race is the hardest time ever--its hurry up and wait for the kids! We always share a bus with the high schoolers and they usually run first. Luckily these kids are easily entertained by screen time and entertaining each other

 

Hayley has been deemed "little sister" by everyone, they all want to take her home---there are days where I am like PLEASE do!!

Our girls ran awesome with 3/5 placing in the top 50 and getting medal

 

Love how they are watching the girls and trying to find them running

Last minute talk from Coach

Hunter ran awesome--lots of hills and was told to add 30-45 seconds on last weeks time (ran flat course last week). He had a goal of top 50 and 13 minutes, I was nervous!! He ran a 12:27.18 and got 49!!! WOOT WOOT!!!
