Well, another race, but this one was quite different. Because of the rain the race was delayed an hour for the kids and a few hours for Duff. Duff's course even changed at the last minute. Kace's started his race and got a little ways until a girl cut him off which sent him into a rock, which had him falling. I wondered why I hadn't seen him coming for his 2nd lap. Kassidy had started by then after getting wiped out at the start by some kid. She was a little hurt, but Duff got her back on her bike and she finished the race. Still not seeing Kace, Duff and I got worried. Duff headed up the trail until the announcer called for Kace Johnson's parents to come to the tent. Kace had crashed and busted his arm. The bike paramedics were with him, so Duff headed up to be with him. The firefighter/emts carried him down the mtn and to the waiting ambulance. Duff came back and I hopped in the Ambulance with Kace. Duff stayed to race and Kassidy stayed to do the water handoff. What a race. Duff ended up taking 2nd place. Kassidy ended up 2nd in girls after wiping out. I think she was mad and decided to book it. Way to go Kassidy. Kace broke both bones in his lower left arm. They had to set the bones, which was really cool to watch. Kace was in a lot of pain, but he toughed it out. Too bad summer's here and Lake Powell in a week. Oh well! What can you do:)
PS My sister Tracie had her twins last night. Drew 5 lbs even, Lana 5 lbs 7 oz. One vaginal birth the other C-section! We stopped by on the way home to see them. Congratulations! They are so cute!

Poor Kace!! It sounds like that one was pretty competitive.
Poor kid! Broken bones aren't fun for summer, especially for going to Lake Powell.
