Winning the Big Bucks...

While Ashlynn actually considered skipping this race to go to a friend’s birthday party, we were happy that she followed through with her commitment to completing the circuit.

She was happy because she came in 1st place for the girls 15 or under for the circuit (5 out of 8 races). It was very exciting seeing her on the podium again.

It was also very exciting to see Andrew up on the podium for the first time. He thought he was a long shot, but then he broke 20 minutes with a 19:55 and came in 1st for boys 15 or under, beating the boy who previously was in 3rd place for the circuit. It’s been so fun watching his progress this year.

Both kids were all smiles posing with their prizes. Bummer that Veronica, John and David weren’t along to share in the excitement.
