5.5 biking.  fairly decent pace. I loved it, and no crashes this time.  It was the same course I biffed two weeks ago, and still have bruises and sore ribs from.  But no broken bones.  Hurray

Hurray for Churchill.  What a fun tradition, they have a 5k race every year and the kids can pay 2 dollars to get out of class and go run.  I walked with some other teachers at a brisk pace and that was rough up a couple hills.  Very enjoyable, we passed so many slackers and I mean a lot like 100 or more.  Man do these kids have no pride? I never would have been caught dead being passed by OLD teachers, WALKING!

 Afterwards the students could buy waterballoons to throw at the teachers and I willing stood in my assigned area but I didn't have very many people going after me, I was fairly dry.  Other teachers came out in ponchos, and umbrellas.  Pretty fun

This is kind of a race report but I don't have a distance, all I know is we covered a lot of ground and I am tired.  5 hours of racing, jumping on trax, finding geocaches, getting all the clues, running up to the capital I am beat!

 

It was great fun and Churchill Jr. High won 40 gps watches to use in our classrooms.  A prize worth $8,000!!!

The person they had marking the turn in the course didn't do her job, so a lot of people added a lot of miles to the run.

 But on the other hand the raffle was awesome, little giant ladders, bed n breakfast getaways.  Not bad.  had a great time. My mother in law got second in her division.  Natalie got 7th but her age group was 1-12, yeah, like that is really close in abilities with that age group.
