Before getting to the Central Hardin Invitational, it is strange that Marissa's team and Devon's team don't have races today. Marissa's team is practicing in the morning, but Devon's team is taking a day off. Good thing because he is scheduled to work 10-6 today.
Robert and Betsy left the house at 6:30 am to get to the meet at the Hardin County Fairgrounds by 8:00 - we, of course had to stop for our traditional breakfast - yum!
Robert's team goes to warm up. The first teams to run are the elementary kids. Right in the middle of their race it starts to pour rain. I felt so bad for the little runners. The girls middle school is next. It drizzles some during their race, but starts to dry up. We have a fantastic race, with finishers at 1st, 2nd, 4th, 8th & 11th … - we win the race with 24 points.
Now it's time for the boys to run. Luckily the rain stopped, but the ground is wet and slippery. Several of the girls had muddy knees. The course is one that you can't see the runners for most of the run. I was able to see the boys start and finish with nothing in between. It's another great race for the North Olhdam boys. They remain undefeated. It's a great thing to see all the boys coming in so close together in their NO uniforms. Robert had a great run today (even though he almost fell at a corner back in the course). He had a PR at 11:44 finishing 13th in the race out of 133 runners.
