Chance Cross Country Race The "Chance Chase"

Mary Lynn and I went to the "Chance Chase" to watch Erin run her first Cross Country Race.  I think Mary Lynn was a little cold, so after Erin ran we left.  So, I don't know how Chance School did in the event, or what Erin's official time was.  But, she really did good.  That was a long race for a 'young' 2nd grader.  She's one of the youngest in her class.

She beat a lot of girls.  They were still coming in a long time after Erin crossed the finish line.














This is one of Erin's best friends, Ellie, who is on the team, too.
















This is about 3/4 of the way through the race.  Erin is on the outside wearing long pants.  She decided to run in her warm up pants because it was pretty chilly.






It was a lot of fun and I'm sure Erin learned a lot from this first race.  She really has a nice pace and I think as she gains experience she gonna really be tough to beat!

It was cold. And Mark & Kim were volunteers who put a lot of time into this - it ran so smoothly.
