National Junior Olympics




Kody hopped on a plane Friday morning for Reno.  Me being a worrier, you can imagine how my day went.  Luckily he called me when they arrived and made it onto the hotel shuttle.  He did fine and sounded like he had a great time.  It snowed the whole time they were there.

The race had to be delayed an hour and since it was held at a National Park they did not plow the course.   It looks so cold. 


Despite the coldness and the battle wounds he endured, he ran really well.  Out of 200 racers he took 39th.  The first one from his team to cross the finish line.  Of course his reaction was he missed being All American by 14 spots, but was in the Honorable Mention group. Dennis and I were so excited when we pulled up the results online.
We wished we could of been there but are glad he got such a great experience!

It snowed in Reno? Is that Reno, Nevada, or somewhere else? Do people even sweat when it's that cold?

Yep! Reno, Nevada. It was funny because he got a couple battle wounds and had to tell me how the blood just froze. I guess that was a good thing because then he didn't have it running down his leg.
