After training for her race she was READY! The weather had cooled down a bit and there was a nice breeze. She felt nervous but was ready to start.
With team Cailey! (and daddy:)
the cheerleaders who had a GREAT spot!
and they're off!...........and the finish line!
We sat right near the starting/finish line so we'd be able to see them well. The course was very hilly but cailey ran a 9:39 the first mile. After that she averaged around 10:30 up and down the hills and LOVED throwing water on her hair and running through sprinklers. When she came in at 33:19 (YAY!! AMAZING for the course!) she was DRENCHED...with what I thought was sweat but then found out about the water:). She was looking a lot like when she had heat exhaustion because her face was splotchy white/red and she was dizzy. After chocolate milk, banana, granola bars, and water she was back to normal:). She did such a GREAT job with daddy!

Afterwards we went around to all the expo tents getting free samples and checking out all the fun activities. One of the big highlights for the kiddos was getting to ride on a bus from RBC center to Meredith. Oh...and thankfully Ephram stayed dry the whole race:).
