Slanters dominate!

Craig and I decided to compete this Saturday in the Cache Valley Biathlon in Wellsville, Utah. We really only had about 2 weeks to train for it. I did my best, but I was mostly out there for the experience, and to make a personal goal out of it. I ended up doing surprisingly well, but not time-wise or placement-wise. Basically what I'm saying is I finished the whole thing without dying. I can't speak for Craig's experience I guess, but I thought he did really well. He was way ahead of me so I can't tell you much of the details. I know he worked really hard...I could "smell" his determination. Haha, j/k guys.

The whole course was beautiful. There were trees and farmland and creeks and animals and cops that drove around on their motorcycles to keep us on course (their most eventful day in a long time I'm sure). I saw one driving in circles in a parking lot on the bike ride back. I don't think he gets out much.

One thing we didn't really see coming were the HILLS during the the biking part of the course. Obviously, we rocked it, but I definitely had thoughts of horror as they got closer.

I didn't check to see what our final times or placements were, so we'll have to update that part.

Thanks for the pictures and cheering Crystal!

Ethan was a great athletic supporter. Obviously, Craig appreciated it.

Craig's award. Yep, they give out babies now.

Oh, Logan.

Me on the final stretch. Not that cute.
