Tom and I had the priveledge of being part of Team Elshanator today! What fun to spend a big chunk of time with her and her parents. They picked us up in LaVerkin and we rode to the start line with them in their VANGO. Great company and an awesome ride.
We were there plenty early to get Elsha all set and ready to go. We spent some time hanging out in the warming tent and mingling with the crowd.
We had to walk through a field and up the road to the back of the start line. The start was a little different since they had to make sure people were spread out good for this race. They had us go through a very narrow chute to get going. It took us about 15 or 16 minutes to get to the starting mats.
This course is pretty much up hill the whole way and to add to that we got a nice head wind. Luckily Tom and I were taking turns in the pushing. He would have made it pushing alone but I would have had a pretty hard time. I had to let Tom help me out on a few of my turns towards the end.
This is an amazing course! The scenery is beyond beautiful! It was fun to watch people from out of state enjoying the beauty!
After the race we got to ride back down with the Stockseths and then we headed straight home. We were pretty worn out when we made it home. Our alarm went off at 4:15 this morning....I'm looking forward to an awesome night's sleep. I hope I get it!
