That Guy finishes another Rainbow Lake 5k

Thanksgiving in Indiana again. Another Thankful Four in Wakarusa with Jared and Jasmine being the Turkeys.

 Ran the two mile instead of the four since training hasn't been that good. The two miles felt difficult, 18 something to complete it. After cheered other finishers until Jasmine and Jared finished. It was fun to watch people finishing and highfiving the kids.  After showering and naps at the hotel, went to Marky's in-laws for a wonderful Thanksgiving meal with his family.  Later the 6  of us drove to Geneva where Kasey and Nick were waiting with grandma.

Saturday was the Rainbow Lake 5k and the family championship. West coast family threepeated with Jared and Nick tieing for top family honors. The battle for World's Fastest Stucky trophey was again won by Jasmine, with Kasey being unable to hang on and execute her strategy of out sprinting her at the end. I was way out of the running, but ran a consistent pace for a 28:15 time.  
I was still a difficult run as That Guy demonstrates after crossing the finish. It was then to the fire station for soups provided by the South Adams cross country parents.   Then the family  photo when all the awards were done being handed out. Jasmine and Kasey finished 2nd and 3rd in their age groups while Nick finished 3rd and Jared fourth in their age groups.
