Kody fought illness all week and has always had issues with the district meet course. The first year he collapsed at the finish line and then last year almost collapsed but Dennis was there to keep him up. We were trying our best to prepare him in every way possible. When race day arrived, we woke up to rain, not just the normal rain, but pouring rain. The races were delayed. He had to wait until almost 3 pm to run and to make matters worse just before the race started I felt sick...the nerves hit me just like I was the one running...
Our first sight of him in first place coming up the hill.
He kept that pace for the first two miles then started to lose power, his legs just gave out on him.
We could see him start to stagger a bit...
He somehow kept going and finished in
5th place!! It was awesome, but of course he was not happy with himself.
Check out the mud on his back and legs...yuck!!
