Winning the race

Z ran another race this morning...

It was a 5k on a fairly difficult course.

The first half or so is up some pretty

steep hills, and the finish

is in a narrow canyon gully.

And he won!

His prize? A race medal

& a free pair of running shoes.

The race was a fundraiser for scholarships

for local high school students.

The school's mascot are 

The Blades.

I'm still not sure what

a Blade is, but Blade Man

was there, so we had to get the

race winner in a photo with him!

Z is part of a running group in town,

many of whom raced this morning, too.

They are obviously the group to beat, 

as most of the overall, gender, 

& age group winners 

were Donut Shop racers!

Finally, there's a local photographer

who covers lots of races.
