A few pictures from Corporate Challenge

We spent a lot of time this weekend at Corporate Challenge. David ran in a relay, but I didn’t have my camera with me on that night. Even if I would have, I wouldn’t have been able to photograph him, cause he was like lightning.

Lightning, I tell ya. For real.

The kids had a great time competing in the kid portion, but it was sweltering hot. Here is Garrett kicking some booty in the 400 yard run. He finished, and by the time the other kids were hitting the finish line, he was well on his way to the ol’ medical tent. Yeah, we thought he was going to pass out. Little heat trauma. And when your zero-drama kid says he's gonna pass out, you head for the big red tent. He laid in there for a while with ice on his neck and then jumped up and ran another race and did sit-ups and obstacle courses, and rock-wall climbing.

I have a personal rule that anytime I need to spend time in the medical tent, I’m done for the day. But, ya know, that’s just me. I’m funny that way.

Here is Cole doing his 60 second sit-up challenge. I know this is my child because of the uncanny resemblance. This is exactly what I look like when I think about doing sit-ups. I get all sweaty and distressed. By the way, he beat the Cole's World Record, despite the heat. Love those tiny abs of steel.

David and Cole enjoying some snacks in the Devon tent. Notice David’s choices. Nothing refuels the body like jalapeno chips and lemon bars. Oh, it‘s OK, his race was the night before. On race night he refueled with a hamburger, a hot dog, some chips, a big chocolate chip cookie, and a coke. But I know for a fact he had several powerades during that time, so it’s all good.

Physical competition is not really my strong suite, so I love that David encourages and inspires our family in this area. And if I hadn't been wearing a skirt and flip-flops today, I may have almost been inspired to exert myself physically.

May have. Almost.
