Sage's first Cross Country race

Sage had his first cross country race this morning with his Mt Si High School team. He had to get up at 6 am this morning and luckily the school is only 5 min away where I had to drop him off at 7:15 to catch the bus. 

We were all amazed at how many teams were there. When we finally got there and found a spot to park Sage was just getting ready to run in the relay races. For those (like me who just found out today) A relay race in XC is made up of 5 teams who each run the entire 2 mile course before tagging the next team. At this course the also run through the lake in thigh high water!! do I need to mention how cold the water is here compared to FL! 

He did awesome and we are so proud of him. I have such admiration for all these high school students running these races - its not easy!  

THe first team ready to go - Sage is in there somewhere

taking the plunge

almost to the finish line

tired yet happy!!! Go Sage Go
