Saturday was the Allan Butler Criterium Race in downtown Idaho Falls. Nate took 2nd place in it last year and was all geared up to take it all this year.
The race started with a kids race. SO fun! Landon and the twins (our cousins) raced first and then Dallin, Parker and Makayla raced next. It was fun to see the kids in their shirts and they LOVED their medals!
Nate did GREAT. He had 20 family members there cheering him on with every lap. No one had a louder cheering section! These races always scare me a little bit as the guys come ripping around the corners at crazy speeds. Nate was leading with 2 laps to go on a solo break when he realized he was going to get caught. He waited for the 4 chasers and got in line for the final bunch sprint. Coming around the last corner he had to tap his brakes just a bit. This slowed him down enough that he couldn't close the gap and caused him to get 4th place. He was disappointed but happy overall with how everything went. I was just thrilled that he didn't get hurt. (Such a mom thing to say!)
The proud wife:
Looking forward to the Twilight race this weekend in Boise! YAY! I'm ready to go "home" and see my fam and friends and cheer my sexy spandex wearing man ON!
