Winter Track Season Polar Bear Race!!!

Being in North Carolina - they have "winter track" from November through February. Devin's thrilled! He's been running cross country and track since the 6th grade - now that he's in high school - he's pretty good. But - this is taking track to a whole new level!

Devin only ran the 500 meter run - yes you read that correctly - winter track adds 100 meters to every race for some odd reason! Considering he'd been sick for the last week with a bronchitis virus and he only had 1 day of practice this week AND he's never ran in weather like this - he did good. Beat out 6 other kids and ran it in 1 minute 24 seconds.

Now - Mike and I - we sat on concrete bleachers for 2 1/2 hours watching the races and froze our butts off!!! About 40 degree weather!!! It's 2 hours later and I think we STILL have icicles on our bottoms!!!

Sorry - no pics! We forgot to take the cameras!! We'll get them next week we promise!
