Frist race of the year

Friday was Zach's first race of the season. I love this race because it is at the beach. They run the bike trail around the Ventura campgrounds. He usually does very well but this year someone stepped on the back of his shoe and gave him a flat tire. He decided to run most of the race trying to keep his shoe on. In the last 1/2 mile he decided it was time to kick his shoe off. He still ran a 23:38 but he could have done so much better if he would have stopped to put it on. But what do we know we are just the parents and he is the ever so smart teenager.
After the race we went up to Carpenteria and had the best dinner at Sly's..
Next race is California City, it should be roasting hot... can't wait.
