I forgot to update my blog after Riley's latest race, OOPS! So here we have the play by play of the day :)

So this race was MUCH closer to home than the 20k, we only had to drive off base about 10 minutes to get to the starting point, as we started driving we realized there were cones ALL down our street, it didn't take long for us to put two and two together and figure out that as part of Riley's race course he would literally pass our house. Rye and Kyle joked that they would just quit at that point and go chill on our couch, just say SCREW IT. So we get to the starting point at like 4:30 (gosh thats too fricken early!) So the race starts and i try to find a place to snap a few pictures, curious as to how far back they will be since they BOTH said all they cared about was finishing, neither was felt up to par and didn't think themselves able to push it too hard.

getting ready to start the race

 I was settling in, playing with my camera, enjoying the gorgeous sunrise! all those blurs on the right, those are some of the runners.

so i was still messing with settings when i noticed a familiar silhouette in my frame, then all panic broke cause the settings weren't right and i had to put the dang thing on auto real quick so i could catch a few shots

 So as soon as i snap this picture i'm about ready to try to fix the settings before Kyle comes by, no time! before i can even turn around i hear my name called, there he was.

you can even see Rye in this picture ahead of him but just barely! gosh they are too fast, i was just a little upset, but then glad at how well they were doing!

fast forward a few hours

 in the trees you can see the red of Riley's shirt, here he comes round to the finish!

 YEEEEEAAAAA BUDDY!!!

 wait who is that guy that just passed him at the finish.... jerk.

 Kyle coming round to the finish line!

There is Rye, after getting his 3rd place plaque, oh and that guy that passed him at the finish line...... ya he placed 2nd in Riley's division, and 1st place was only 10 seconds ahead.... So Riley was RIGHT THERE!!! and Kyle was NOT far behind at all. they are amazing, i am so proud of both of them, and cannot wait for the 30k so i can be right there yet again, harassing with my camera and cheering them on!!!
