This past weekend we went to Buena Vista, Colorado for a fun-filled adventure race that Adam did with my brothers, Clint and Brian. It was unbelievable and Adam said it was the hardest thing he has done in his entire life. (besides leave me to go on his mission :)
Here is my man and all his glory! I'm so proud of him.
We got there Friday afternoon and gathered all their gear and food for the next day race. They checked in that night and got their maps. We went back to our Bed in Breakfast (and the dogs) and mapped out their course checkpoints for the orienteering part of the race. Here is the boys in deep thought.
We were able to get a family pic before the race started. The mountains and snow was beautiful.
They started with a 3 mile trail run, then jumped into these kayaks to go down 7 miles of river. Adam rode solo and luckily never fell out. Here he is climbing the death steps to the biking section. To see Adam in action click on the links to the photos by the race photographer.

After the pain and fun here are the boys at the finish line. So proud of you guys! It was so nice to see them coming down the mountain alive on their bikes.
This classic photo says it all!
Thanks you guys for the good times. Can't wait for the next one!
