Hurt in the Dirt


Last night Jake did the first annual "Hurt in the Dirt" race held at Fort Buenaventura. He did it as a relay with Nate from the Bike Shoppe. Jake went first to run 4 miles and then made the transition to mt bike 10 miles. Then Nate was up.



It was a really tough course...they had to run through mud, water, sand and obstacles. The funny thing is that Nate and Jake hadn't even been training for the race so they had been doing a lot of biking, but not any running.



Well I think they both surprised themselves by how well they did! They seriously made it look so easy! Jake finished his leg in about 1 hour and 15 minutes. They finished overall with a time of 2 hours and 38 minutes.



There were 80 individual racers and 40 relay teams and they took 2nd place overall! They were the first relay team to cross the finish line and took the Shop competition that was held between all the local shops.



This is their traveling trophy that they get to keep at the Bike Shoppe until next year. Way to represent boys! It was such a fun race to watch! Jake is a little sore from the run, but they are already looking forward to next year! He never ceases to amaze me with what he can accomplish! I'm so proud of him! Way to go Babe!
