Trinity/Valkyrie Invt.


Friday we headed over to Tom Sawyer State Park for the 53rd Trinity/Valkyrie Invitational. It was a flat and fast course, good thing because the rain seemed to like it! Pouring when the 7 & 8 grade girls and boy ran, poor things.

Brian does his thing with Hunter before a race, I am NOT allowed to talk to him--he is totally in the "zone" and doesn't want to be bothered with Momma or pictures!

Hunter lead the first 800-900 meters--he looked good and strong, sadly that didn't last. He is still trying to find his way and pace himself--this is where its SO hard as a Momma. I trust Coach Smith and Hunter is doing what he is being told, but its one of those things--Hunter has to learn and figure out himself.
It was a neck and neck race all the way
into the chute
finish line in sight

This picture warms my heart: this is the way that the team is--always greeting each other at the finish line, no matter what. Ali came with 2 Gatorade in hand--she was going to make sure he rehydrated!








 
Poor thing--gave it all--he had nothing left-
 
19/306
