On Wednesday I stopped by Fleet Feet to get Carter's shirt and race number. The youth small was actually super small so he got a youth medium - he's getting so big!
It was beautiful here this morning - around 70 and sunny. Definitely not normal Fourth of July weather! Carter had on his cool sunglasses before the start of the race.
Carter decided he didn't want to run alone so I did the race with him.
Carter was not nervous at all and excited to run. It took awhile for the 5K to finish up (there were some major stragglers) but we eventually did about 20 minutes late.
Brian filmed the start ...
Carter ran really hard. He slowed down to walk a few times but picked it back up after only a second with a little encouragement.
He's in the middle of this picture in the white shirt ...
Approaching the finish ...
I look more tired than Carter!
Carter sprinted the end and finished at about 5 minutes, 10 seconds. If I'm right on the race length, that's about 9:11/mile pace.
After crossing the finish line, all the kids got a cool participation medal and some refreshments. Carter was breathing really hard so I knew he definitely tried hard!
The medals are cool dog tags with the race logo on one side and the Y logo on the other.
Carter was super excited to add the medal to his collection on his bedroom!
