Warming up before the mile run.
And they are off.
Seth played it cool for the first two laps and then worked his way up to the top during the last two. He had a beautiful stride. On the last lap he passed 5 runners .....
and here he is making his pass for his final two obstacles.
That turned the race into a dead sprint for the final 200 m. It was the most exciting race of the day as these three sprinted to the finish. As you can see the guy on the inside lane has much longer legs than Seth and Seth wasn't able to overcome them. He finished a second behind him. I wish I had it video taped cause his stride was picture perfect, and he has the heart of a champion. Way to go Seth!
The boys relay team. They had the makings of a great finish- but the guy next to Seth gave up in the second leg after a difficult hand-off from his team mate. Seth ran the third leg and tried to make up for it- but it just didn't happen.
Seth is the official (in our book) winner of the running long jump. The guy who received the blue ribbon actually scratched- unfortunately, Brigham and I were the only ones paying attention and we didn't want to say anything since doing so would look petty. Oh well- Seth had a great jump- his longest at 13 feet. He attributes his success to Plyometics!
Overall- it was not what he had hoped for- but a successful day non-the-less. It is always fun to watch him perform. Way to go Seth!
