What an Athlete!

This past weekend Ronald participated in 2 local events. On Saturday, he ran in a relay marathon, Beach to Bay, with a group of people from work. The team consist of 6 people and each person running about 4 miles through Corpus Christi. I think they finish right around 3 hours.

On Sunday, we drove to Flat Creek Crossing Ranch, just outside Austin, Texas to participate in a trail running and biking race- called Muddy Buddy 2009. The race features a 6-7 mile course and 5 obstacles. At the start of the race, one team member will run and one will ride the bike. At the 1st obstacle, the rider will drop the bike, complete the obstacle, and begin running. The runner will arrive, complete the obstacle, find their bike, and begin riding. Teams will continue leapfrogging each other through the entire course. At the end of the race, racers will crawl through the infamous Mud Pit crossing the finish line together!

They had lots of Fun!!!
