Rhett's Run

Nathan has always loved to mountain bike.  We used to do it quite a lot when we lived in Chattanooga and he got into it again about a year ago.  Today was his first race!  It was so different from what we've been doing- triathlon.  The race started at 11am!  Usually we're at our races at 545am and race always begins before 8am.  Today, Nate had to complete an hour of racing.  If he completed a lap in 59 minutes he had to do another lap (about 40 minutes)!!  It was a fun, laid-back event.  He enjoyed it- for the most part.  It was raining this morning so it was very sloppy and frustrating at first.  However, he's already talking about the next race.
Enjoying the snacks - waiting to see Daddy.
Go Daddy Go!
VERY dirty Daddy.

I talked with Barbie today. It was Raul Walter's son, Rhett. I guess he died, not sure how. But Rhett loved mountain biking and so his father had that course designed for him. And evidentily it is one of the toughest courses ever. Just wanted to share that info..Congrats to Nathan for braving a course that I would only run on :)
