the big race

derek and andrew decided a few months ago to run a 10km race in mission on april 1st. however, neither of them trained for it at all (derek ran from the car to throw out trash once)...

derek doing OK sort of...sore already

about halfway, diedre and i were out of the car to cheer him on.

andrew coming along with shawn for company on the bike

giving a look to the fans

keep on keepin' on...this is the point where he told me i was distracting him and to get going...ha ha, thanks honey

the big finish! yay derek! 49.50

here comes andrew giving it all he's GOT! his time was 52.59

derek trying to keep warm with the alien blanket (didnt really help) and his wee sidekick eating a healthy kids snack bar. it was very very cold, it snowed the next day actually!

sidenote: sorry andrew, mom told me you wanted to beat derek, and i said, "ok, i know he's your son, but thats my husband and he can never beat him." although derek said he was worried at one point b/c he saw how close behind andrew was and he thought, if andrew keeps that pace to the end, andrew could beat him since he has a more powerful sprint.
