First Race of 08

as i've mentioned before, we love going to hare scrambles. we have so much fun spending time with friends and watching the race. we do a lot of hiking and get a really good workout for the day. usually, you see the same people at each race so it's almost like one big family....but we have our close friends we go to support if we aren't racing ourselves (meaning kent or paige....not me).

the kids race first and then the adults take off.

kent giving our friend's son a pep talk.







i guess kent is keeping the bike seat warm...hehe







this boy was sitting beside kent.........kent was pretending that he was racing in his class and was telling the boy all of his strategies.....the boy thought he was serious! this is him listening very intensely.







a few shots of the kids during the race.












and then the adults line up.




one of our good friends has been very successful racing and here he is getting an interview before the race. if you look closely, you'll find paige in the background to the right with her friend and some of our other friends we were with.





by the time the adults were racing i was tired of lugging my big camera around so i put it down and enjoyed the rest of the day. we have so much fun and with the weather finally being SO nice it's great to get out and have some fun!
